Good morning to everyone. It is cold again (45 degrees) here but warming up in a day or two.

@hollydolly so sorry to hear about your pain and lack of sleep. I wish you well and please take care of yourself. The rental car sounds nice.

No trick or treaters here. There are not too many children that live in our neighborhood. One child is barely walking and doubt she would have been out.

Have a good day, everyone.

Pre-cleaning lady cleanup, then going to gym with my daughter. Then wife, daughter and I are driving to a town on the Chesapeake to eat oysters.

It's November and Huge Closet of Horrors remains untackled. Maybe this month....

Doesn't happen often but I don't have diddly squat planned for today.

Spent most of the day yesterday and all this morning spreading some of the mulch so next year, I'll have a layer of soil to grow some grass. Knocked out 3 piles of mulch and still have several more scattered around the property.

So far it's been a busy morning. Picked what was left of my peppers, pulled all the plants out of the vegetable garden and planted my garlic.

Disconnected the garden hose and turned off the tap from the inside. (Don't forget to shut your outside water, if you live in an area prone to freezing)

Removed the trunk lid from my 58 Chev, sold it. I have another in much better shape to install.

Helped a neighbour move a log splitter into a shed.

A little piece of heaven....

There is rain all around us, and heading this way. That means no skating today. What a shame.

The forecast had been looking good, up until early yesterday when it started to change. We've reached a stage in our lives where we just don't want to drive in the rain for 2 hours, anymore.....and of course, the same to get home.

Now I'll need to find some mischief to get into......

Last night was perfect trick-or-treating weather - about 73°. Went around with the two little grandsons plus my DDIL & DS. So many neighbors had really tricked out (pun intended) their yards - 3 year old GS's eyes were like saucers taking it all in.

We had about 60 kids show up at our door. Glad I resisted DH's pressure to buy a second giant bag of Costco candy. Lots of K-pop Demon Hunters - I would have had no idea what they were if DDIL hadn't clued me in. The trick-or-treaters were adorable and polite, as were their parents. A delightful evening.

It's 8.30pm now.. and for the last 2 hours we've heard nothing but very loud fireworks going off...bang, bang. bang !!

This is in advance of Guy Fawkes ( Bonfire) night on the 5th of Novber..

People can buy fireworks and just let them off willy nilly.. and it scares the bejesus out of peoples pets and animals.. I wish they would make it illegal to purchase firweorks unless for a big festival or offically arranged firework show..

My daughter sent me more pictures from the Death Valley National Park (copied from my iPhone.)

A rare hidden spring (the curved arrow was inserted by my daughter.)



Camping without facilities somewhere in the boondocks.



Burros (wild donkeys) in search of a rare water. The car of my daughter's friend is at the bottom right.
