A wonderful evening spent with dear friends.

Rob came up to grab some bits and pieces and to say farewell. Hopefully he’ll come and visit one day.

It’s Thanksgiving and the Christmas decorations are appearing. This house always looks lovely.

Locking the deers in the cemetery again tonight. Mom and her 2 babies, who’ve grown up healthy, and should get through the winter just fine.

This blue jay chattered non-stop as he peered at me through my moving boxes.

There’s been a few accidents with people crossing this road in town, but I couldn’t help chuckling at the irony of this tilted sign.

A warm glowing sky this morning, from the kitchen window.

A phenomenal party tonight at Janice and Simon’s house. The boys were on another table but us girls got together for a photo. Great night!

With snow flurries, wind and rain, a huge flock of vultures were lazily circling in the sky as daylight slowly faded.

While walking to get coffee early this morning, I came across this abandoned basket. I considered taking it home, but spotted a child’s toy inside, so left it, hoping the owner would return.

Clouds and mountains merging, from the top of the cemetery.

Sorting out my books for packing. I think I managed to part with maybe 15% of my collection.

Not very often you see a parachutist near your home. I had no idea where he’d be landing, but it looked like it would be safe, he was descending very slowly.

You see all sorts at the White Post flea market. I’ve never seen such a huge left chest decoration, or barbed wire so prominent around an American eagle.

Mary Lynn, a fellow tree steward, and great friend, on a bridge over Happy Creek, by the town arboretum.

I hadn’t been down the tavern for a while, due to me being a Mrs Misery with my current situation, but I went tonight to hang out with the VIPs and see Greg and his brother, Bev, play. And dear Jim, the owner cleared my tab. I will miss this place.

All the leaves are gone. Bare trees on the cemetery skyline.

Tricksie Treat enjoying the warm sun through the window.

The last raspberries this year, as the temperature goes down to 27F tonight. 

I worked with the tree stewards today handing out free dogwood and redbud saplings during the Veterans Day event on Main St.

The town has plenty of flags on display for Veterans Day tomorrow.

These have been our neighbors, opposite Elliott and I, at the weekly flea market. I asked what they were drinking and was told, Champurrado, a chocolate atole, made with ground corn, whole milk, water, chocolate, brown sugar, cinnamon and some salt. The husband brought me a cup of it, which was very kind of them. It was horrible.

Incredibly, I’m still getting a small handful of delicious raspberries every other day. 

Having brunch with Janice, and I wanted to photograph my delicious sausage, cheese and egg biscuit, when another customer photobombed the picture. Hilarious!

The blueberry bush foliage is looking gorgeous this afternoon.

A fiery sky as the sun drops below the horizon. 

Tricksie Treat looking comfy womfy on the sofa.

A delicious lunch made by two friends. Butternut squash soup from Carol, and sourdough bread from Chris.

Very early at the flea market this morning, I backed in to my table, and did a double take when I looked over at the truck parked next to me. 

Look at the size of these Halloween monsters. They’re over $300 each and only on show for a couple of weeks. They probably take up a lot of storage room for the rest of the year too.
