I went outside to sweep leaves this morning, 

and Pippa tagged along to supervise.

She obviously decided I was doing fine on my own...

Hard to see (thus the red circles) but the canal to the bay isn't far away!

Some of the crabs have even migrated to the backyard.... <g>

Sweeping is hard work, especially with SO many leaves - 

so afterward it was time for Pippa to relax.

In  bit we're going to wander over to the weekly Farmer's Market in the park.  Who knows what we'll find to buy?
