Fall Book Fair

It's Book Fair time again! It has been pretty much all-consuming this week. Despite my fears of massive volunteer dropouts due to all the stuff that's going around (including H1N1) and depressed sales because of the economy, only one of my co-chairs called in sick (with flu-like symptoms!) and our receipts are about where they were last year. G was pretty restrained this year and I think that even with book donations I got through the week for under $125!

Fall Visit

Last weekend Pat & Bill visited from NYC. It was an unseasonably cold and overcast weekend -- at one point there were even snow showers. It was a fairly busy pumpkin day on Sunday and Simon was a big help with getting people back and forth to the field.

Opening Weekend

Kind of a slow weekend for pumpkins, even though the Packers have a Monday night game, because the weather was so overcast, damp and cool.

Firedog

It has been chilly and damp here. Dan pulled out the chimenea as an incentive to be out in this weather. We're not the only ones who enjoy it -- Maike likes to chase the stray cinders. Here she is waiting expectantly for something to fly out the top.
