It's a Beautiful Life

Candy: We spent a good share of Thursday at Albany's city park. It was just before sunset and the long shadows were beautiful. The pictures are from that day. These are beautiful days in Minnesota. The fall foliage is just beginning to turn out in full color, and now that the rain of the past weeks has passed through, the skies are beautifully blue with crisp, white clouds.

Temperatures around here are supposed to hit the 80s over the weekend and into next week, so we're planning to spend as much time outside in the summer-like weather. Here's hoping you have great fall weather and sunshine this weekend, too.

I'll leave you with a translation of a saying found years ago on a brass plate on a Peking, China garden wall. It read, Enjoy yourself. It is later than you think.
