Yesterday as I was getting the kidlings ready to head out the door to Sue's house, I noticed a racoon wandering around the yard next door, right by our patio. Our other neighbor had said they had seen one too, perhaps interested in the ripening corn in the big garden behind us. John and Hanna were quite tickled to see the racoon.

Sue had a bigger bike they didn't need, so she gave it to Rhonda so Hanna could have it. It was missing a pedal, so Rhonda went by a bike shop last night to get one. Then, Hanna had lots of fun riding her big bike. She was quite proud. She did very well too.

While they were gone, I put John in the tree swing and he had a high old time. Then, I was getting the bike cart out just as Hanna came home, so I took them over to London Park for a short time.

I don't know what they dumped on the playground there, instead of wood chips there were clumps of like dirt and straw spread out. I could tell right away it was the kind that gets to me, and later in the evening I started to feel stuffed up, with a little itch in my chest. I took a Claritin and that helped.

I'm going to go by the clinic this afternoon and get a DT booster. Yay.
