Back to work today after a long weekend. Another mild morning, up into the 50s. But cold front moved through with a period of rain in the afternoon. Still, I dodged the rain to get my full quota of walking in. Work went by very fast and a lot was going on. A lot of gray November skies over the past week. Not much sunshine at all. But we are getting ready to head into winter.

Went for walk in Groton state forest and towards the end of the walk, the dog got lost in woods for a while - some boaters in the river spooked it. After about 20 minutes of walking up and down the trail, finally found it. Spent rest of afternoon putting reflectors in yard and doing some minor raking. The yard is finally ready for winter. Had to treat the shed for squirrels as well as they returned even after I cleaned out their nest yesterday.
Put some Christmas lights up on outside of house and Christmas lights are just about finished as well. Another mild day today - lower 50s.

Very windy this morning, lost power in house for about an hour. Took a 8 mile walk in Estabrook woods. Then raked up rest of backyard and cleaned out shed for the winter. Found a squirrel nest in there that required two wheelbarrows to get it all out! Another somewhat mild day - up near 50.

It was mostly a rainy day but I found a dry slot to get a good five mile walk in on the Chelmsford bike trail. Otherwise, I basically checked in on work and got a little reading done. Day went by very fast. It was a cool, rainy day with lots of wind later at night.

Day flew by, especially at work where I dealt with blizzard of emails mostly. Much cooler today and with gray skies, it definitely looked and felt like late November with some intermittent rains during the afternoon and evening. Thanksgiving is only a few days away.

Finally got caught up on leaf raking for the most part. Took walk in Dunstable/Pepperell woods and then took dog for grooming appointment. Picked up "Aztec" by Gary Jennings at the bookstore along with the Palin book. Then raked most of day. Only a few piles in the backyard remain as well as a few in the shrubbery in front of house. Otherwise lawns look almost as clean as a golf course. Hung Christmas lights in the living room but stopped early as I'm totally exhausted. Did get to see New England beat NY Jets 31-14. Weather again was relatively mild - nothing like last year at this time when winter was setting in.

Spent entire workday up north today. Didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted to but a good day. Got plenty of walking in. Temperatures cranked lower today but still not too bad. Was in upper 20s by bedtime. Downloaded Christmas album by Sting...already listened to nearly 2,000 Christmas songs so far since Nov 1. Hung another strand of Christmas lights in dining room. Still a long way to go as I usually hang 20+ strings of lights on the inside of the house alone.

Day started out drizzly and warm, got a decent walk in at Groton bike trail and then commenced raking leaves. All the leaves are off the trees and got most of front and some of the back done. Still need to finish sides and back next weekend and all will finally be done. Overall a very mild day (up around 60) for raking.

Short day at work day. It was a very busy day as we were preparing to switch the whole company to SAP. Left early so my youngest son could take his driving test and he passed. Now both sons have their license and can drive themselves around. Competitor of my company called when I got home and wanted to schedule an interview. Otherwise, I had a fairly quiet night.

Very warm day for this time of year - climbed up towards 70. Took a walk in Carlisle/Concord woods this morning and dog got a bunch of ticks. Got some good leaf-raking done and looks like most of the leaves are down. Will need another weekend or two to get it all done. Saw the NE Patriots beat Miami 27-17.

Woke up early this Saturday morning. Was a cold morning, upper 20s. Oak trees dumped this past week and left me a lot of lawn raking to do. Only made a dent today though I was out there for hours. Took a sunset walk with dog along Chelmsford bike trail. Got into some short stories tonight and listened to tons of Christmas music today. Still don't have lights in windows yet.

Running late to work today so decided to pull over and check emails at a Dunkin Donuts. Finally got to office and before I knew it, it was 2PM. Took long walk and tried to end day at office up north but didn't make it in time due to traffic. Traffic was bad all day. So got to home at reasonable hour and went with wife to Mexican restaurant - food was awful.

A bit of a strange day. My wife had eye surgery today so I left work early. Not that I got much done at work. Was 34 degrees in the morning but got close to 60 during day. Went to pick up son at college but got lost in the darkness of Lowell. Had to fire up my navigator to find my way over there. Still getting used to it getting dark before 5PM. Spent the night watching some election results and was much more pleasurable than last year at this time! I switched to new pedometer but it is malfunctioning and still have to wear my old worn-out one.

Perfect day to end a near-perfect long weekend. Temps up near 60 today, took a long walk on Groton-Pepperill bike trail then spent most of afternoon in yard raking leaves, like last year at this time, got a good handle on it. Then another long walk after nightfall (which now occurs before 5PM as we switched our clocks back). Roast turkey dinner and a quiet night at home. Started listening to my massive Christmas collection today and it will take a full 8 weeks to hear it all.
