Today the real estate section arrived with the newspaper.  The most interesting thing is that the common picture is not taken to show curb appeal, but to show how the backyard could be enjoyed.

We have been eating out on our deck when we can, partially because it is easier to clean up and partially because we are so happy it is not raining.  Maybe we'll get a picnic table when we get back.

Yippee!  After a little research I learned that the city will deliver a compost container to us.  The instructions do say that if we decide to discontinue using the container we have to wash it and return it.  I think we'll keep it.

So many people have apple trees laden with fruit and more on the ground.  We look over the fences longingly and wonder if we have the  nerve to ask them if they want help picking their apples.  Today we met a neighbor around the corner who had painted a beautiful sign and set it next to a basket of apples.  She was encouraging people to enjoy the beautiful day and take an apple for their walk.  When she saw us trying to decipher the sign she came out and we had a wonderful chat.  Can you knock on someone's door and invite them over for coffee after meeting just once?  Sure!
