Pax got in a bath and long morning walk, but by afternoon it was raining pretty good, which limited his interest in the great out-of-doors. Sue has set up a sewing station in the lower level and is stitching away at Halloween costumes. What with working steadily on Anna and Elsa, I'm surprised she's not Frozen.

Climate change, we hardly knew ya.
