Blowing In The Wind

Took Monday off from work. It actually was more of a "work from home" day since I still participated in an almost two-hour conference call and got some other work-related tasks completed. It was nice to get it all accomplished in OSU boxers shirts and a t-shirt while lying in bed.

These three days were scheduled as vacation days about two months ago. So much for that. I'll be in the office Tuesday and will be attending a dinner event. The jury is still out regarding Wednesday.

I did also get the wall paper pulled off in the dining room and worked on some holiday-related preparation. That was nice.

While home, I heard a leaf blower working its magic. Glanced outside and caught my lovely neighbor on the south side working hard to blow all my Bradford Pear leaves out of his yard through the fence and back into my yard. MMcB describes him as a "giver." So true. It is important to note, I've spent about five hours collectively over the last two weekends raking and bagging leaves.

Was out recently and saw these leaves on a sidewalk outlining my path. It reminded me of Dorothy's walk. Nature's way of creating a yellow brick road. Couldn't resist snapping a photo to share with you.
