My driving day today, from beautiful sunrise on the way to work, and then torrential downpour on the way home.

A home store had an incredibly huge array of Halloween decorations already on display. I wouldn’t mind one of these lifelike skeletons to perch on top of a high cabinet, but not for $60. 

There was only one Minneapolis Moline at the Pageant of Steam in Berryville, VA today but I was happy to see it. Love these tractors.

A cracking thunderstorm blew out the power at work. Everywhere was dark except my office, on battery back up. But not enough incentive to stay, it was nearly home time so I left to start the weekend early.

A cherry tomato after the rain, and just before it was popped into my mouth. 

About a mile from home and the storm is rolling in. The string of white globes on the right are Purple  Martin houses, they’re put up every year by a considerate neighbor. I got home just in time for Rosie Lee to scarf some dinner before hiding under the bed from the thunder claps. Tricksie Treat seems to be unaffected by storms, big kudos.

Our local Anglican Church is having a clean up. They can come and do my house next!
