Our version of retirement: Living a childhood dream

I so love this time of year
I missed the leaves up at the cabin

We have a couple deciduous trees down here
The leaves are falling
Makes me just want to go on a brisk walk, inhaling the crisp air
Taking in the graceful leaves as they float to earth, covering the ground with their ornate blankets

Guess it's why it's called 'fall'

These pics are a bit feeble, but guess who's taking a walk in the park today

I love fall! I miss it living in a city now. I used to walk in the forest daily and loved the crunch of the leaves too. The sounds of the birds in the forest getting ready for their trip south. I even liked the feel of the cool autumn air on my face. It is always in my memories though.
 

My woman is in a bit of a tither

Just learned we've got 13 kids and grands heading our way for thanksgiving

Our dining table seats four comfortably

They may be spending the night

Oh, and two dogs

....and my daughter's boyfriend is in a wheelchair

So much for a quiet little Thanksgiving

Suggest that they bring card tables, folding chairs, sleeping bags,and dog stakes/chains. :)
 
You got any space in your shop?

I'd be tickled pink if I had a group coming for Thanksgiving.
I told my youngest son that we would pay for motel rooms if he. his wife ,, 3 daughters & boyfriends were coming.
They aren't as the girls have chances to make more money over the long weekend.

So I asked my cousin & his wife to come.

That isn't happening as cousin has become a recluse.

Could this be the guy....?:unsure:

Asian Long-Horned Beetle Look-a-Like Pine Sawyer​

"On further investigation it was learned that this loud black and white beetle was the native Pine Sawyer, Monochamus scutellatus."

"Let’s be vigilent! This beetle has the potential to be the pest of the century because it attacks and kills hardwood trees and one of its favorite hosts is the maple tree!"
