so, october 10th: what's new with you?

oh.

sorry, snapdragons. you look chilly.

vinca, where are your sweet pink blossoms?

my apologies, decorative grass.

hollyhocks, you look downright pathetic.

lady rose, looks like you had a rough night.

i can practically see you shivering, little sedum.

cottage rose, you were developed by U of M to be hardy. by golly we're gonna find out.

on the upside? three seasons on one tree at the same time. green summer leaves, golden fall leaves, and ... snow.

and in other gorgeous scenery news, this is what my brother-in-law gets to run in for 26.2 miles tomorrow during the cleveland towpath marathon:

not too shabby.

oh, and also?

he's home. feeling a little better. battled a minor migraine this morning (fourth in two weeks ... trying to not freak out about that ...), but he's home.

in other p-a-d news, yesterday happened:

harper had a field trip to the orchestra and got to try her hand at some stringed instruments.

and becca thought it might be a good idea to go to bed.

Harper is too cute with the piggytales and the violin!

Brrrr snow! I think I'd like MN except for the snow. It's too dang early for snow!

Glad he's home! Hope he's feeling better soon! Harper looks SO cute!! And yay for snow. I actually miss snow. But I don't miss driving in it! LOL.

Snow... I forget how cold it gets up north and how early it comes. It's 44 here this morning and we are freezing. I refuse to turn on the heat. I do really miss the snow and early winter.

I don't know Ryan that well, but seems like a good guy. I met him last year at a blogger meet up at a Conference. I haven't been blogging for sometime, as a matter of fact Mandy and I have been thinking through a new blog with a focus on marriage and family. Making it a little different and taking a different approach to encouraging marriages. We haven't decided when and if we start it, I don't want to get caught up in the worrying about my blog stats stuff.

Your family looks really sweet, hope Marc gets to feeling better! Tell him I said hi

[Sue Thomas]

Isn't this weather crazy???? I love it! Glad Marc is home and hope you feel better! Parker looks like a natural with that violin!!!
