Friday Night Strange Sky

 We had such high winds for 2 days and nights.  Last night I took Rusty out for his last run.  There were two large holes in the clouds that looked like eyes, with sun beams streaming down onto the hills. There was a hint of green mist where it reached the trees.  The wind was so loud and eerie.  I half expected to see a space craft beam down from the sky.

Notice how leafless the trees are.  They've all blown off the last two days.

Happy Halloween!

 

This is the scariest picture I could find today. I was going to spell out a holiday message with acorns or apple peelings, but it's been raining all day and I'm feeling very sloth-like. I found this slimy guy on the garage door.  You know, if Walt was home, he'd be able to photoshop them, or cut them out and arrange them to spell out  something for me... so you'll just imagine finding it sticking to your shirt, or falling onto your hair, or perhaps discovering it in your half-full glass of Dr. Pepper.

Perfect Wednesday

Started the morning with apple picking.

Ken mowed during the afternoon, and I raked leaves whenever he looked my way.

It was so warm the honeybees got busy again.

We both spent a long time squatting under the sunflowers trying to get a pic of the chickadees

Upside down chickadee butt

Finally went in to eat barley soup that the neighbor brought. I took this one because Rusty was acting like he saw someone inside.

The chimney reminds me of a castle turret

Venus is barely visible right above hill in the middle. An hour later it looked huge.

So many contrails

Country Living Magazine

 I've been saving CL until I can really sit down and relax with it.

Stay Safe

Sunday Monkey

I prefer it this way.

These are the Uglies. Definitely need sugar, but they make the best pies.

Blustery Day at Geneseo

  It was a miserably cold and windy day, so we picked Walt up and went directly to Tim Horton's.  After nearly 2 hours of sandwiches, do-nuts, coffee, and stories, we went to WalMart for necessities. Then we went to his room, saw his room mate, nosed around the dorm, then hiked the path he takes to his classes. No wonder he is so thin.  Apart from not eating enough, walking that much several times a day would be grueling. Even I would be skinny.

College hasn't taught him yet that raw tomatoes taste good

Showing us his physics homework. He adores whiteboards.

He sits in the seat that's on the bottom left. Why at the back? It's at 8:30,there's no possible way he can get there earlier than he does, no he can not wake up any earlier. Yes, he wears his glasses.

Still has the sideburns.
