Day 1003: 80 degrees

Warmer and sunnier than most of August, September has been spectacular! If only the nights were not 54.   This weekend, Colin and April went to Jacob Riis beach and swam in the ocean!  How wonderful!  Tomorrow, we'll begin to drain about a foot of water from the pool in preparation for closing it up for the winter.  It makes me very sad to close it, but I don't want to leave the process till it's so cold  and windy that the job becomes unbearable.

So, now I am tallying the miles we walk or hike each day.  We added four more mile today so we're up to 88 miles for September.

As promised, I started the Quest video today.  I finished editing all the clips from Wednesday and most of Friday.  We're speaking to the Brocton 8th graders on Friday and will use the 2013 video instead of the 2014.   That's actually better because the photos and video from the 2013 trip were beautiful since it didn't rain at all.
