We've a long ways to go to look like this, but it's been chilly enough recently to feel about the same.

I put my wreaths between the front and storm doors. Guess mine aren't very thick. Other fall decor is a pot of artificial mums attended by three small, crocheted pumpkins @faerywings inspired me to make a few years ago. @BrightEyes I love your copper ones.

Here's my take on it.

At 54 years and counting, DH is sure a keeper!

Susie @pachimac , that means we are related (very, very . . . . distantly) as John Lothrop's daughter Jane and her husband Samuel Fuller (Mayflower) are my ancestors way back. His meeting house (in which he lived?) in Barnstable, Massachusetts, is now the Sturgis Library which you can visit...

Sure did work to get in all the photos! Love the crop of the big photo. Don't like thinking about the cold fingers though.

@wombat146 Ona, I totally love what you've got here! So creative and vibrant. I say go for the red tartan and scribbles too (but testing it would be good.)

It could be "seriously?" you HAVE to take my picture - or from my point of view, seriously, you can't give me a better view? This Gray Catbird was at the neighbors' eating elderberries but we also saw some in our yard from this time (July 26) and during August eating the berries on our silky...

DH got nice photos of this bunny, one that we see in our yard. They run off but freeze if you're looking at them.

Linda, thank you, thank you! Makes me very happy.

Those of us in the U.S. with early New England ancestors are usually related to a ton of other Americans including many famous/infamous ones. Also many U.S. presidents, most recently Barack Obama (though I've forgotten the long lines that link us). The most famous of my ancestors was a fifth...

@tanteva What exciting news about Urban's interview and travel & research funding! So, two trips for you this month. Wonderful. #clap

Looks like you found adult and kid Pied-billed Grebes as well. Curious! Lovely way to record them.

I really like these foliage colors from last November.

Thank you, Sylvia! What a delight to have my page selected.

Wonderful! Thanks so much. #kiss

Nice to have some fun with Halloween images.

I read all those too. My library had a section of them and yes, orange covers.

I also read all the horse books including the Walter Farley black stallion ones. A favorite thanks to my sister was Wind in the Willows. I read children's biographies, Nancy Drew, beyond that I don't currently remember.
