The house is comfortably above 70° even though it's cool and foggy outside because Rick built a fire last night (and I'm keeping it going!).
We have had a bunch of rain and a lot more leaf fall (the photo above doesn't show the half of it), so I haven't gotten any more done on the arena. Besides that, I was
horsin' around on Sunday instead of staying home working on projects – and I may be doing more horsin' around this Sunday and beyond. In addition, my parents are flying in Wednesday morning for a rare 'birthday visit' (need to do some cleaning for that!), so that will take precedence over most everything else. The day they leave, Brian takes his driving exam which I expect he'll pass, then Katie bar the door! He doesn't have his own vehicle and has to pay for our increased insurance (with a teenaged boy added; OY), but I'm sure he'll still be hammering us for the keys every chance he gets. We're
all in for new adventures....
Awhile back I showed glimpses of a 'scarf vest' I got, and blogpal Jeanne asked for more photos. Since I wore it again to church last week, I got a friend to help so here it is, Jeanne!
(Me and my bowed legs; oh well, all the better to ride with.)
The Chuckie Channel is featuring fall right now. The star of our show is growing noticeably more sleek and shiny, which is gratifying:
Daylight here at the 45th parallel is diminishing daily; so you have to catch it when you can. Sunset two nights ago was stunning, and yesterday huge clouds dwarfed our house:
Right now I've got to figure out what's making intermittent clicking noises somewhere in the great room (sounds like the kitchen area). It's got Jackson completely freaked out; he's hiding behind my chair, shaking and panting. Sure hope it's not a 'killer mouse' because it looks like I'll be on my own in dealing with it!
That's it for now from . . .

GOR-geous fall shots of everything and everyone including you modeling your scarf/vest! Your fallen leaves are so pretty. Wish we had more deciduous trees around here.
Do you have a smoke detector in the area of the clicking? If so, try replacing the batteries.
Thanks, Mama Pea. Our native trees don't have a LOT of color, but even the dull golds are nice. Then there are the lovely bare bones of deciduous trees in winter. :-D
No, Nancy, we don't. And it's much more organic and random-sounding than that; it really does sounds like a busy little rodent, even though we've never had a mouse in the house here.
You look great! I love the scarf vest. :-)
Let chucky loose on that Killer mouse. ❤️
I love fall misty skies. I just wish, here, that they'd clear up and let a little sunshine in once in a while. Our gale winds took care of any leaves left on the trees - but I love the sight, sound and smell of leaf fall. Oh, that Chuckie is an adorable cat! And he knows it! Michelle, that vest is just stunning and you look fabulous! A teenage boy with a driving license? OMG.
Michelle, thank you for the pictures of you in your shawl - vest!! It's beautiful and you look fantastic in it!!! ☺
Your fall pics are very pretty! So is Chuckie! And he really is getting shiny.
The fall colors have been gorgeous here, too. Sadly, the leaves are starting to fall.
Love your vest! And Chuckie :-).
