No Money = No Gas = Go Home

Patsy dog was a good traveler...most of the time. But after having to stay behind while the humans got to go eat lunch, I think she had her own plan.  BAD dog!

On the Road Again...

We have been away from home for a few weeks. We had to deliver some paintings to Oregon and we took our time coming and going. Mount Shasta was already covered with snow. We visited several places that have been on our list for a long time.

The fall colors were spectacular and we had wonderful rain. Those rain drops sounded so nice. To us California people, rain is an event! We had a delightful relaxing trip and we are now happy to be home again.

"My Church is the Woods."

We are taking some much needed vacation time in the woods. It's been a while since we have taken time to do nothing, read, think. We should do this more often. It feels good.

Pumpkin Weigh-In

It has been two weeks since I measured the pumpkin so time to see how much weight it has gained. It is getting harder to measure because I can't reach around it any more. The numbers are 62" x 61" x 105" = 228 inches. So the chart says it is at 256 pounds. The vines are really starting to get brown so I don't think it will get much bigger. We will see!!

Sunny Sunflower

This makes me smile. Could it be any more yellow!! I think the birds are just waiting for the seeds.

Concord Grapes are Ripe

Does anyone know how to make these concord grapes into wine? I think that would be a fun project but I  don't know where to start. I'm going to ask hubby to do some research and see if we could have wine by Thanksgiving. Wait...they let wine age in oak barrels for a looooong time. Got to come up with a different plan. Any ideas?
