| It was coming down in buckets. And right in the middle of the worst of it, a rainbow peeked through. |
 |
| It rained like it would never stop. High wind gusts. Bunnies hid under the porch and wild grasses burst forth. This citydog scratched at the door to be out in it the whole time. |
 |
| The drive has some rock but is mostly mud. A lot of leaves were still on the trees, and the high winds knocked them off. They created a soft bed to walk on, over the mud. |
 |
| Inside, 2 kinds of soups were simmered on the stove, Tuscan Minestrone and a new experiment with Cream of Potato with bacon, onion and kale. It tasted good on a stormy weekend. |
 |
| The first casualty of the Season was a big glass Santa globe that the Hubs has had FOREVER! We harvested his parts and now he looks out from his temporary headquarters on the water cooler. Any ideas on how to replicate his body? |
 |
| I made this Apple Wreath in 1988. Just love putting it up at Christmas. I can't believe it has lasted - a straw wreath, plastic apples, ribbon, glass bulbs and one stout glue gun. |
 |
| The Hubs h-a-t-e-s glitter but in this case it looks good with the garland accents around the windows. So please! Nobody touch it...and it won't shed |
 |
| Blurry pic, but the twigs from the trees outside still have some leaves attached. We tried those advertised Command hanging hooks that are supposed to stick to the wall and not leave marks when they come down. Waste of money. |
 |
| The place did alright except for a leak from the windowbox in the hall bath and water on the sill upstairs, everything else was tight and right. Feelin' grateful for that. |
 |
| Favorite Weekend Moment: when the Hubs figured a way to plug welcome lights above the cabinets so we could display the Christmas train in the perfect spot! The grandparents gave Mike and his first cousin Rory matching wooden trains for their first Christmas (1982) - they were born 4 days apart.  |
