Sept 30

Whew! I'm almost over this picture a day commitment. I think we all need a break!
Coming home these days it's getting darker earlier. I dislike driving to work in the dark and arriving home in the dark.

Sasha and Jenna at work tonight.

Did everybody stop by Dad's blog and make "Yummy Apples" your desktop background for a couple of weeks? It's fall, you gotta do it!

My creative juices are waining! Here are a couple of shots while I was jogging this evening.

I got a couple of good emails today. First, the historic one from Dad:

Praise God. Sara had Isaac!! That's right. The dear little fellow is Isaac Jacob, born after 1 pm.

We will pop in at the Women's and Baby's Hospital to see!

Whoops.

Sept 27

Today we visited Yellow House.

Jody and I did a bunch of running today. First a 5 k in Millersville (Jody 21 minutes, me 23:30), then I did 10 more and Jody did 17. We found Siegrist Road, over behind Farmdale School. What a nice little road, including a covered bridge!

I saw this road kill on Marietta Pike between Chestnut Hill and Silver Springs. I think it's a mink, but what would a mink be doing there? Does anyone have any thoughts? Is it actually some type of weasel or marten?

It's Friday night, so I was at a football game. Sadly, by myself. But it was 3-0 Manhiem Central at home against 3-0 Cocalico Eagles. It was a battle, and ended with the Barons kicking a field goal with 1.5 seconds left. 17-14.

Sept 24

I got home early tonight and went for a jog. I saw this house on Silver Spring Road with a volunteer corn plant in its' front rain gutter! I would blame a squirrel. Any other guesses?
