This unbeatable autumn continues

We have had such a great streak of perfect autumn weekend weather!

But first, in breaking news, the dogs still love their mom.


In much less adorable news, a few weeks ago we found a snake in the basement. We chalked it up to a one time thing. Then, Friday, Melissa found this little dude meandering across the kitchen.


Does anyone know how to pull of arson safely and effectively? Because at this point, I think the only viable course is to burn the house down.

Primarily to get out of the house, Saturday morning I got up early for a training run for the NYC Marathon, coming up in just two weeks!


I'm running with the Boston Children's team, along with my friend and former athena colleague, David, whose son Joe-Joe receives treatment at BCH.


Back at the ranch, Bruschi continued to neglect his duty to keep our home free of snakes.


As you may have heard, the Northeast last week experienced a "BOMB CYCLONE," which used to be called a "storm," but now apparently has to be called something apocalyptic. We lost a pretty big pine in the back yard, which took out not one, but TWO neighbors' fences. And thank god, because if it had toppled the other way it would have taken out our garage.



Of course a beautiful Saturday meant we were back in the woods with the mutts.



Then, pizza night with Megumi.





This morning we participated in a charity 5K here in town, called Pam's Run in memory of a Wayland resident who passed a few years back.


Another gorgeous day for it!






Syl was super psyched to run by 101 Plain Road.


I was proud of this kid. She hasn't run for the better part of a half year, but she powered through 2.25 miles before a cramp had us walkingfor a bit.






Later in the day, we did some roller blading in the driveway.



A few more shots of the glorious autumn we're experiencing...




The trees in our front yard are out of this world this time around. They actually cast a golden light into the house for most of the day.
