Winter can wait

Twins baseball hat? Check.
Twins baseball shirt? Check.
Warm and sunny afternoon? Check.

You could almost be fooled into thinking this was summer. Which made Saturday a perfect day to play baseball and enjoy a picnic lunch outside.

I've given up trying to make sense of this year's weather. Cold all summer, it warmed up just in time for September. October was rainy and miserable. And now, just when we should be experiencing the gales of November, we're getting awesome days to be outside instead.

Sydney and I took a nice long walk around the neighborhood after lunch. Walking through our wooded development this time of year, I couldn't help but feel a little nosy. With all the leaves off the trees, I could suddenly see backyards and other home and landscaping features that are normally blocked. I also could see at least a half dozen neighbors up on their roofs, taking advantage of this unseasonably warm day to prepare for the next season. By hanging Christmas lights.
