October 23, 2015---Michelle’s Driveway, Loveland, Colorado

The sky was mostly clear this morning...cool, and windy.  Most of the deciduous trees in the neighborhood now have yellow leaves.  At least, until today!  The swirling wind sent them flying and left many bare branches.  It was an interesting sight to see.  Lots of people were out today blowing leaves off the grass.

When David and I went for a walk this afternoon, the streets were fairly covered with leaves.  Let’s hope the street sweeper comes by soon.  A rain now would leave a soppy mess in the streets.

Our residence rabbits are around every day now, enjoying the weeds and grass sprouting since these past few days of rain.  As long as there are no dogs around, they are content to nibble, even with us just a few feet away.  We have seen a few tiny babies, but they usually stay under the bushes.

Tippy had a special treat today.  Meredith came with her two dogs and got him.  They went for a walk on the trail at Boyd Lake.  I would imagine, but I don’t know for sure, they took long naps when they got back to the house.  Meredith, on the other hand, had to get back to work.  She enjoys the days she can work from home because she can spend her lunch time with the dogs.  The dogs like it, too.  It is a “win win” situation, all the way around.

Joshua was in charge of dinner tonight.  He fixed chicken nuggets and grapes for a garnish.  We also had bread and butter and sliced tomatoes, the last of the vine ripened ones.  Bill and I enjoyed them, but I think the boys were thinking...huh?  We also had ice cream for dessert.  Yum, yum!
