Happy Halloween, Y'all!

 

Electricity Outage

What do you do in a blackout situation?

Sit in a candle-lit room and ponder.

One of my favorite drinks.

 Not just Earl Grey, but DECAF Earl Grey, because you know, peri/post menopausal sensitivity to caffeine and all that good goop. ❤️

Sunrise and Beyond.

The Halloween Pumpkin

Of course the little boy came up with a spectacularly simple but impactful design :)

Mamo's Quilt Project

Judith makes a massive amount of quilts, which win Blue Ribbons at The Fair every year, and this time, we got to participate in one :)

Can you guess who made which?

Enjoy your retirement, Black Bin.

You have served us well. 

We remember when you were deployed in 2020,

We remember when you were crushed by some careless delivery person in 2022, and we tried to tape you up so you could continue working, 

and today, we retire you after about 4 years of service, come snow, or rain, or heat or gloom of night....and deploy Black Bin Jr With The Red Lid, in your place.

It's the season for Celestial Happenings....

We had to use binoculars, but we saw it :)

Wild Flowers Hanging On.

What a difference a week makes

Our Bougainvillea plant one week between photos.

Aurora Borealis Part II

I know we had seen a tinge of the Aurora back in May, but this time, it was way more spectacular. I know it isn't anything compared to what you see way up North, but for Texas, it was amazing.

The first time we went out, we didn't see anything, but the Phone Camera caught a tinge of green and pink.

The NEXT time we went out, the sky was ablaze with reds and pinks. Wow.

The Simple Pleasures

A Beautiful Sunrise, for example.

Accidentally Cultivating Deer Food

As you have seen, deer DO come onto the property to forage for goodies. 

Today on my walk, I came across chewed-off Prickly Pear Fruit.

Reduce Reuse Recycle

My Sneakers are still good, except the soles are shot.

My flip flops are still good, except the inter-toe thingies are shot.

So what do you do? A Sneaker Flip Flop Mash Up.

I just kinda hot glued the sole of one onto the other.

It works great for the rugged terrain out here. Yay.

p/s Extra points for noticing the reduce-reuse-recycle on the jeans as well :P
