This Virginia Creeper has sneaked over our boundary fence from the neighbors' garden. I love the transition from summer green to the rich autumn hues of this creeper.
Margaret and I drove Emily to Picton this afternoon to stay overnight with her cousins. We visited a good friend on our way home. This friend is very excited as she is getting a chocolate Labrador puppy tomorrow. A little girl puppy, the family is now pondering on choices for her name.
