Dinner in PA, Walk in NJ.

9-30-18 SHORT HILLS: We had more rain. The official rain total for this September from Newark Airport is 5.64 inches, which is two inches more than average. My rain gauge had even more, about 8 inches.

Yesterday we drove to Philly for dinner with cousin Steve at a Thai restaurant near U Penn. It was good to see him, it had been about a year. Today we dog walked with Bebe, Ron and Bill accompanied by Maizie, Gus, Kaley, Bella and Bally. It was warm and sunny for a change.

It seems early, but a couple of sugar maples on our street are turning color, and the ash trees are starting to drop.

New blooms: sedum. [I thought this one, which I had planted a few years, ago had disappeared in the weeds.]


Here's a pic from Siobhan of a California Sister butterfly. It's very similar to the Arizona Sister. I have never seen either before.

Sedum remnant in bloom.
