Inquiring Mind Wants to Know

I just love this picture of Aiden. It is so expressive. He seems to be asking a really serious question of his grandfather and I don't know the answer. That's the problem of course I never have the answer!

I think I'll go into the "office" for a few hours this morning while Linda's at work. If we're lucky we'll get some rain but luck of course is a tricky thing. Linda's been good about watering our trees and for the most part they look good. The ash and sweetgum are a brilliant golden yellow. The smaller pin oaks in the side yard are turning red. The maples are just starting to shade. I'm concerned about the large pin oak in the front yard. It looks like something's been eating it and both Linda are concerned enough to consider getting an arborist in to look at it.

I'll try to get a run in this afternoon.

Addendum:

Linda and I got out to Mills Road Park for the first time in a very long time. Like E-I there was a lot of damage from the wind storm but most of it had been cleared off the trails. I was really sore so I ran slow and short, only about 30 minutes but I did get some quality hill running. It started out sunny and clear but by the time we left 45 minutes later it was overcast. Thankfully we're supposed to get some rain tonight and tomorrow.

JoAnn, 5 in 1 is 5 minutes running 1 minute walking. It's good for muscle and cardiovascular recovery. Very important to ultra long distances.
