Happy Sunday everyone! Ours is a soggy one and quite cool but the weather for this week is looking promising, as in nice and warm. I just got back from a little bit of shopping in downtown Huntsville with my brother and we were probably the only two people wearing shorts and sandals. Not ready to give up on Summer just yet!
So, my brother arrived on Friday and is going back home tomorrow. We've had a nice time with him and the weather cooperated up to this morning. We had a nice lunch out yesterday and I made some good meals. It was especially nice to take the time to just chat away, which we don't get to do often. Cooper was happy to see him and, true to form, went up to his room each morning. We wish Francois a safe drive home tomorrow morning, back to Montreal.
This past week was good and the weather spectacular. Russell came back from his two day trip on Sunday and the Coop and I were excited to see him. As predicted, Cooper was over the moon happy when his daddy stepped out of the car. His tail was wagging like never before. It was so nice to see. As promised, I include some photos that Russell took of the Milky Way over the two nights that he was away and at two different lakes. He really enjoyed his experience and is now looking forward to perhaps another similar experience, elsewhere.....he has Iceland in mind. How cool would that be!
Not much else is going on. September has been beautiful so far and I truly hope that this continues well into the next few months. The leaves have started to turn on some trees. In our backyard, they are falling quite rapidly and Russell even had to blow them. It seems early for some reason. Cooper is a leaf magnet so the blower has come in handy.
That's it for this week's blog. I have a few things to get ready for dinner. Russell is watching football, my brother is having a nap and we will "Facetime" with my parents at 4 pm. Oh, and the Coop is working away on his dental stick.
I hope you enjoy Russell's pictures. I include two that I took of my brother's visit. Notice the pile of lettuce on the plate at the restaurant...that was mine. Have a great week everyone!

Having a leaf blower is a life saver when the leaves start falling. Still it's a beautiful time of year, and not just by day evidently - those shots you have of the night sky are really something! You are fortunate to live in such a glorious part of the world :)
