Nuts....

A very mild morning for November.

 The front paddock is still muddy...the dogs just don't care 
and it has an impact on our kitchen floor.



 On the way back to the house
 the sky suddenly looked like a scene from Hawaii.




 Dramatic light was coming through the kitchen windows.



 I spent much of the morning communicating with members of our Jam group.  On Sunday there will be a celebration of life for our friend and Jam founder, Jim Foote. So far we have 15 people who will be performing in his memory.  I hope he hears us.  It's going to be quite a gathering.

This afternoon LW and Phoebe had to hang out in the back yard while Gary and I raked and moved at least 10 wheelbarrows of black walnuts.

 I hope that's the end of it, as it is the third or fourth time we have had to do this. 
No mowing until they have been picked up.



 My friend and fellow baritone uke player, Terry, came up this afternoon so we could go over the songs we will be playing this weekend.  We have both started using picks and what a difference!
 A great dinner.
Our salad included tomatoes, cucumbers and a red pepper that we picked earlier from our garden.
 Carina's bread...
 and I defrosted some sauce that I had put in the freezer.
 Simple and so good.
 As I have been working on this post, Little Wonder has been insisting that I throw one of his toys so he can fetch.  About 10 times....

Finally finished.
Night all.

A Great Loss....

When Gary got home from Java this morning he had news that our Sunday Jams leader,
Jimmy Foote, suddenly passed away yesterday.  A major loss to our community, as he was as generous as they come.  His music added so much to many of our lives.  I hope we can continue to play and that he will be with us in spirit.  Peace Jimmy, to you and your family.

When the dogs woke up it was still dark out.



 Before I knew it, the sky was exploding with color.









 There was frost on the ground, but the temperature ended up in the 60s.
 Class at 10:30.


 Once again, it was not very warm....even tho I turned on the heater at 7:30.
 I'm afraid we are going to be moving into the house next week.





 We had our regular bread delivery at noon,
 and Carina's daughter brought in a basket of rolls to share with us.
What can I say?  She makes the very best bread you can buy.
 For some reason, Little Wonder loves to stand on top of the mounds over the garlic Gary planted.
 He also loves going in the flower gardens.

 How about that shiny coat?

 I made a quick trip to Hilton to see my Doctor and by the time I got back to the farm
it was nice and warm.

 I cut back the remaining glads one more time, and they are still beautiful.

 Just a quick dinner tonight as I had a Town Board Workshop.
Leftover cauliflower (added peas).
Home late.
Night all.
