Trucking towards the mountains and home after work.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at The Blue House.

This Hindu temple catches my eye with its pretty colors every morning as I approach work.

An amazingly beautiful sunset on the drive home tonight.

One of my neighbors is ready for Christmas. Lights accompanied with festive music, it was lovely to experience this as I walked downtown to join friends for a pub crawl.

The Shenandoah passing through Strasburg on a wet winter day with white sycamores flanking the river banks.

Some weird lighting in the car wash today. Seemed like an alien world.

My Thanksgiving dinner from the Wayside Inn, where Carmen and I managed to get a last minute cancellation. This feast pictured was followed by 3 slivers of pecan pie. Heaven! And no washing up!

I love this old barn. I have to pass it on the way home from work when I take a detour to pick up my farm eggs. 

An ongoing frustration at work with production. The top test print is correct with the gold halftones printing as a lighter color. The bottom print is how they were printed, the pressure so heavy that the halftones ended up as a solid color. I despair...

My hands are red and sore from catching piping hot sweatshirts off the dryer at work. Smoke was rising from the garments too so I was concerned about health risks from fumes. Unfortunately there’s little or no reports on the internet regarding hazards of screen printing.

After running errands it was lovely to finally have a lazy afternoon with no tasks except editing Saturday’s photos. 

A girls’ day out urbexing today in New Jersey.

Saw this bike as I was driving through town early this morning on my way to work. I don’t envy the person that has to sit on that saddle!

The snow was starting to fall heavily as I arrived at work. A treacherous mix of snow and freezing rain continued through the day and I was grateful to get home safely.

Tricksie Treat seems to have adopted this chair. 

Making my way home from Brambleton tonight I passed this new water tower, looking eerily alien in the twilight.

A rainy evening but I have plenty to do, so much to still unpack. But the back deck looks pretty in the rain, and will be even prettier next spring when it’s filled with pots of flowers.

Standing at the top of the cemetery my house stands out with its blue roof. This is a great little town.

Found a little cafe close to home and waited while my coffee brewed. It was delicious. 

A blurry photo but a great night nonetheless with Marc and April. It’s been a while since we hooked up at the brewery at Broad Run. The beers weren’t memorable but the company was splendid.

Thanksgiving starts early at work, nearly 9000 t-shirts needed for a charity run. The shop is running at full steam.

Interesting cloud pattern at work today. Like someone had thrown a roll of Cottonelle bathroom tissue across the sky.

It’s great having quiet neighbors!

Rosie Lee and I watching some TV after a long day of unpacking.

Farewell Meadow House. I enjoyed my years here but am happy to move on and relish being a homeowner. I hope the next tenants here get all the repairs done that are so badly needed. It was a sweet little house.

Leaving Meadow House with a little help from my friends and a great crew from College Hunks. This operation ran so smoothly and efficiently it was impressive.

Checked my engine filter today and discovered a mouse had considered making a home in it. I didn’t find the mouse and luckily I did have a replacement filter.

Drove behind this on my way home from work. WSnt sure if it had been a Halloween prank or it it’s there all year round. Macabre mind.
