Terry and I didn't quite get the early start we wanted, but we did get a lot done. First we stopped to take care of the kitty (and pick up Elinor and Richard's recycling) before heading into town. We accomplished a multitude of errands in record time - and I even got to see the library.  We surprised the kitty with a second visit when we dropped off groceries and bright cheery sunflowers in preparation for Elinor's return home tomorrow.

The weather certainly was threatening all day, with dark skies and wind - but still no rain.  Due to the chilly weather Tom and I are all bundled up, eliciting smiles from the arriving Minnesotans (Neil's niece Katrina and her husband Jake) dressed in shorts and t-shirts.
