Lots of postponed chores to do now that we're back up the hill. Who does the mow, who does the rake? And then there's all the cutting back in the green room. This week's oddity at the feeder is a ring-tailed squirrel ---- can't find that in the Furry Friend Fieldguide!
A big skyshow on our first weekend back. First phenom was a full moon, all spooky in the clouds. Then the scary of the first snowfall, more than just frost on the pumpkin. Even the jays worried that the roof might cave in!
Had to go to Toronto to celebrate 30 years since I took possession of 36 Wineva. Truly, I only wanted to go to the nearby beach every day but that ended quickly as I got into decades of reno. From basement to attic to injuries and weight loss, it has all been worth it. Happy Annie, homie!
Best way to commemorate? Get Pat another car, of course. Thousands of clicks of research led us to a great deal on a 2008 Ford Escape. I know, I know --- it's not red and it looks like something Swartzenegger would drive to the apocalypse. But it has features we want like light interior and full sunroof. While it got ready, we went to a local park and saw a movie shoot featuring these cars --- what's the common denominator?? Then went back hoping to drive off but they gave us 4 new tires :). The bad news was we had to wait around til 9pm to get plates and the handshake :(.
Total coincidence: we had picked up a novel that morning but hadn't noticed the title! Total nuisance: the rims had been painted over and it will take a lot of doing to get that paint off. Bye, bye, Arnie!
November already! The time changed this morning and the kitchen is smelling real good again. Check this blog all month as the mustache grows to emphasize "Movember" ("mo" is Australian for mustache --- the Aussies started this annual ritual...). All to remind men to be checked for prostrate and other cancers. As the saying goes, Guys --- why die young??
