October unplugged

According to the weatherman, today was the wettest of 2015. One of the windiest, too, I think! Still some leaves on the trees, though; I took the photo below at church today.

Dicey's sweater is coming along. I think she'll appreciate the added warmth, although now that we have a working heat pump, we can take the chill off the house without building a fire. Our weather has been such that a fire is overkill, but without some sort of supplemental heat, the inside can get to feeling as damp and cool as the outside.

Tonight when we got home, all was dark and we could hear the hum of a neighbor's generator. Lit a bunch of candles and fed animals by flashlight, then the lights came back on. Just in time to mess with the clocks. Oy.

That's it for now from . . .
