Following the trail of falling leaves straight to the library doors

Cowboy is going to the doctor tomorrow, so we had planned on grocery shopping today.
Any other Wednesday, his check would have cleared the bank bright and early that morning.
Today they waited until after 1 p.m. to deposit it.
Let's just say Cowboy wasn't all that happy about waking up early, expecting to go to town and not going.

October fog drifts quiet across the sleeping fields

Do you ever see or hear something and think, "I need to put that in the blog," but the day gets away from you and by the time you sit down to write, you've forgotten?
Yeah.
That's usually me.

Spirits, Shadows, and October Nights

Let’s wrap up this final week of October.
I’ll miss it when it’s gone.
October always carries a hint of melancholy.
Still, I’m in no rush for it to be over.

As Halloween’s dark week descends, October’s dying light gives way to winter’s endless night

Our last Sunday in October.
Wow! The year is really picking up speed and flying on by.
We're into Halloween week.

Navigating our different seasons together 🍂❄️

We had an unexpected surprise this morning.

Peacock, Gealach, and Turtle popped up on our doorstep.

They stayed a good while, although we didn't do anything, just sat around.

Peacock knows his parents are a bit on the weird side.

No routine, no anchor. Everything changed, and I’m just floating now

I'm not going to be ashamed to say I've spent all day curled up in bed under a blanket reading a book.
I finished it too.
