@eddyj hi eddy, thanks for visiting! Yup, trees are definitely starting to turn here, especially the sumac, which we first noticed a couple of weeks ago. Will be all over in another 3 or 4 weeks.
@timandelke thanks Elke! Nothing new loaded since getting on google+ but I think a few older pics from gmail or picassa show up. I've been busy but I'm looking forward to taking some time to learn my way around. Am i in the circle you mentioned? Haven't sorted that out in my head yet. Thanks for the link, btw.
@sunnygreenwood I've got you in my "friends" circle, but most of the time I'm posting Publicly, so my stuff should be visible to you. It's a great site to snoop around - check out the various lists - I'm on the "Chicks With Glass" list, as is my daughter, Kyla Palin, a former 365er.
