Fall Is Here

I started taking down the pool this past weekend and since then we have had hours and hours and HOURS of rain, which just filled the damn thing back up again.

This is the back of our yard at about 5 in the afternoon yesterday, though it looks more like 10 at night.

And here are Frederick and Simon heading off to the park, in the pouring rain, to get a bit of exercise before dinner.

Fortunately, this came in the mail today for me all the way from John Lewis, Sheffield England (finally!!) so now I have something to keep me amused during the (ever longer) evenings.
