Being outside really is great. Just a couple hours in the faux fall fresh air, and all my cares (except my constant worry about the state of the plants) slip away. I spent some time last week doing a little work around the yard.

There is no number high enough to describe the amount of times I have lost the clippers in the yard.

These flowers lost all their leaves at the end of summer, but they are making a strong comeback now.

I cleaned a bit of the gutter out, and a lizard almost killed me, but the view up there wasn’t too bad.

And to cap off an already pretty perfect day, frozen yogurt with my best friend.
