The lovely hens who laid my eggs today. That one at the back on the left is looking pretty pleased with herself so I'm guessing she's the one responsible for the biggest eggs which prevented the carton lid from closing.

Mum loves American Halloween decorations and for nearly 3 years I've been looking for a cute, not scary, globe with bats flying around inside it. I found it today! So it will be shipped this week in plenty of time for Halloween. 

Anwinsow of an abandoned church that Jeff and I came across today.

The new animal shelter in Marshall. 

Costoluto Genovese. I have loved watching these tomatoes grow, they all have ripened at one end first, so each fruit has hues of greens through to reds. A beautiful colorful addition to the patio's palette. And they taste delicious too!

The storm started at dusk and is still raging now at 9pm. Everyone on the hill has lost power except me and I'm feeling really guilty because I have light and AC and stuff. OK, the feeling's passed, I'm good :)

Sitting on my patio this evening, the sun was shining and I spotted a pattern on a wooden slat that had fallen from the screen. Caused by a shadow from a nearby planter it looked like graffiti had been sprayed on there.
