    On Wednesday, Lynn went to visit Matt and Crystal. Crystal is eight-months pregnant, and the baby is due on Nov. 13.  Their cat, Yogi, has grown some since the last picture a month ago.
    On Thursday I finally planted the Redbud tree that has been sitting in a pot since early summer.  (It's the sparse little tree in the left foreground.)  It didn't seem to mind, going through the summer with healthy leaves and losing them in the fall.  It should reward us with blossoms in the spring.
    On Friday Lynn took two quilts into the Quilt Show in Peterborough—the "Birds of a Feather" she designed for Matt and Crystal, and an antique "Ohio Star" that came from my family.  You can see some of the other quilts that were being hung up for display (quilt show 1 and quilt show 2).
    I put a lamp post in next to the entrance to the front garden. It makes a welcoming glow at night.
    Here's some fall foliage down by the brook.  Over the Memorial Day weekend, a lot of private planes have been flying over, enjoying the nice weather and colors.

Feature for the day: "Who's on First"—a comedy classic.  (Click on "audio clip.")

Quote for the day"Don't flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates. The nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become." — Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
