Fall back

I love the weather here this time of year. It's hard to believe that I'm still harvesting tomatoes, peppers and strawberries in November! The weather is cool in the mornings, but warms up to shirt-sleeve temps in the afternoon. I like the look of the leaves on the lawn, but I guess I'll have to mow one more time this year, so the leaves will have to go.

I've been giving our dogs (and myself) more exercise lately. For the past few weeks I've been walking them almost daily. The walking pace is perfect for the chihuahua, but our high-energy schnauzer was frustrated with the slow pace. I solved that to her satisfaction by walking (running/trotting) her alongside my bicycle. I like the way people do a double-take when they see us together, me on the bike and her running beside me.
