Tuesday, October 31, 2023 Keith bought pumpkins weeks ago and they looked good out on our front porch. He started trying to carve one of them last night – not in the traditional carving way, but in the sculpting kind of way. Turns out the pumpkn rind (rind?) had the consistency of concrete. He spent […]
Monday, October 30, 2023 Last year we got our first snow on October 14, so this doesn’t seem early. It’s still coming down and I’m not sad I am not working tomorrow. The roads are supposed to be a mess in the morning. The job I had for today cancelled last week, and I looked
Sunday, October 29, 2023 As Halloween approaches, I have been enjoying the decorations that have appeared in peoples’ yards. None of them even approaches the amazing decorations of a house a few blocks from us. I remember when they started decorating six or seven years ago (8? 10? I don’t know). I loved it. They

Monday, October, 23, 2023 There was a knock at the door. It was this bird. And then he just left.
Sunday, October 22, 2023 Keith was up early and blew out the lines and officially closed the pool. I won’t lie; when I saw it with the cover open, I was inclined to jump in. The 60-degree water would have spit me right back out. We went early to Hudson to our show today, because
