New camera

The same day a generous friend of our offered to give us a camera Leila came home from grocery shopping with a new camera. Now poor Kate won't have to cry about how no one took her picture because she was the youngest. There just are some gaps in her life. Luckily, she looks enough like the others that we will just even up the pile with the pictures we can't match up with her older sisters. (Don't tell her I said this.)

Work has been busy and I am behind on seed orders and marker projects which I have to finish tomorrow before the next round of selections have to be finished.

Fall in Iowa is just about perfect. The humidity drops, the temperatures mellow and the trees begin to turn while the grass is still green. This has been a wet year and we have been pushed out of our yard by mosquitoes and it has been nice to be able to be out working in the flower beds. It definitely makes the other 11 months worthwhile.
