Productive Weekend
Friday after work I headed down to my parents to drop off 2 old computers and a ton of old hardware. They, in turn, took the stuff down to St. Charles for electronics recycling. It felt good to get it out of the house.
Saturday morning I raked and swept leaves for the first time this season. Given that 
helloheather will not be able to help this fall, I've made it my goal to stay on top of the lawn care as much as possible. Letting the leaves go too long makes for a very long fall.
After lunch, tinyprayers and I went out for a bit of photography at Moraine Hills State Park.
Neither one of us had been to the park, and so we set out on a 3.2 mile loop around one of the lakes. A ton of centipedes and caterpillars were spotted as well as one snake sunning itself on the limestone path. With a little encouragement it slithered off into the grass where it was safe from the many bicycles roaming the area.
On Sunday I was able to clean out the gutters on the west-side of the house. Hopefully tonight I'll be able to get the east-side ones done.
Being able to visit with family, working on cleaning up the basement a bit, getting yard-work done, and even making time for some photography made for a very nice weekend.
