I heard a noise outside and discovered some heavy construction equipment working on the open back side of the strip mall on highway 100. It was after 6, but I tried for a picture, anyway. They did not turn out, but on a whim I pointed the camera down into my Japanese lantern patch before I came in from the porch. I used a bunch of enhancements and the above is the result.
This weekend the storm windows go up. In a couple of weeks the iris's will be split and transplanted. Maybe some weeding. What was I thinking? Forget the weeding. The snow will cover the weeds in a few weeks.
Tonight I am taking it easy and putting some time into Cassie's concert dress. It is a simple dress similar to the one Lynnette wore in high school, except it is solid black.
Larry is at a football game. It is a bit cold and I am a bit worn out to join him tonight. Maybe I will go next week.
The cafeterias are not always open when Cassie is through with her day so she has been keeping stuff to eat in her dorm room for those times. I sent a package of peanut free stuff to her from the airport post office on my way to work on Thursday. It arrived Thursday afternoon. I am amazed. She is pudging on chocolate covered almonds, raisens and almond butter along with some jams from the basement. It was a one time event. Shipping to her often could become pricey. We will send her back with a couple boxes of consumable stuff when she visits the end of this month.
Tomorrow she will run in the LaCrosse area with the cross country team. I look forward to her report after the meet.
Phil is working his way through this semester in his usual efficient way. He is now to the point that it is becoming hard for me to follow his explanations. I have met my match.
I finished the formal concert dress just before I took Cassie back to school. She liked it, but likes this year's prom dress better. I finally got the fit right. Matthew really liked it. I think the concert is in November. They danced around the living room, Cassie in a band concert dress. Matthew in the Eisenhower prom t-shirt.
This is the view from Cassie's new dorm room. Her original room mate moved out a few weeks ago. Last week Cassie was given options of finding a replacement, allowing the college to find her a room mate or paying for a private room. Cassie switched with someone who wanted a private room. It took 15 trips, up one floor in the same building. Now she has a room mate. 
One more picture of Autumn in Platteville. It was a wonderful weekend. A cold front came through today and brought Autumn. Cassie called today and said she was chilled after her running practice. I was shivering in the kitchen while she spoke. We discussed the practical-ity of dressing tonight for warmth and fashion can go pound dirt. Puppy pants and hooded sweat shirts for her evening class.
