Without any warning at all, we have Grandparents Day! I looked it up: it's the Sunday after Labor Day every year. Now this isn't particularly noteworthy (unless you're into Grandparents Day), but I thought this was a good opportunity to give an example of one of the quirks of these photos.

On certain days, the time of day when I take the picture affects what you see on this blog. I've gotten used to my neighbor's updating patterns by now (he usually changes things either around 11pm the previous night or before 9am the next morning) but he doesn't always stick with that.

This morning when I got up the yard was still set for 9-11, which is perfectly reasonable since I got up at 7am. But when it hadn't changed by 10am, I decided to take my daily picture. Then, later in the afternoon I noticed he'd changed over to Grandparents Day. Of course, I had to take another picture. I'm lucky I noticed it, because I presume if I hadn't I would have missed it entirely.
