We carved the pumpkins at the appropriate time — the witching hour — and David finished his in a fraction of the time it took me to do mine. You can see why. I don’t know what I was [...]

I wasn’t kidding when I said the neighbours took decorating to a whole new level.

David’s still working on his plane-buying saga, so I’ll post about today. The weather was iffy, but I’d hoped for enough clear sky to make a trip out to Cherry Ridge Airport. David hadn’t seen his plane for about five weeks and there was some maintenance to be done on the Tri-Pacer. Also, the temperature has dropped tremendously in the last few weeks and the hangar doors weren’t fully shut. As always, photo ops and getting David outside were other motivations. Oh, and food… in the past few trips to the airport we’d missed opening hours at the airport café, and the food there is de-lish and cheap! The café owners are a kind and cheery lot, to boot.

Well, HEY — it’s the 28th already, and David and I finally got around to choosing our pumpkins, three days before Halloween.

I liked the one with the dent in the middle — was considering getting that one and making it old and toothless.

We bought the pumpkins due north at Roba’s Family Farm, after David’s appointment at the radiation clinic this morning where he got tattooed for next week’s session with The Machine.

David first carved our initials into the giant magnolia tree beside the house back in April.

It was for a Flickr photo project called “Love Letters”, and my idea was to illustrate ‘puppy love’.

I don’t know if the recent spate of weather-related disasters was the trigger, but last night I had this semi-conscious dream state feeling of being on a boat getting tossed around in a storm.

There’s a reason why we keep Hugh indoors, and it’s not just because he’s declawed in the front. Can you see this cat surviving out in the “wild”???

One of my favourite photographers on Flickr has recently been diagnosed with skin cancer and is facing a huge healthcare debt because she’s just started freelancing.
This being the U.S., I am learning firsthand what it’s like to be without socialised medicine and having to pay for [...]

Thanks to a very intuitive lady above the 49th, I got a package yesterday that included Special Edition boxes, and David was introduced to Smarties for the very first time (and no, they’re not the same as M&Ms).

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! They’re all gone now!

The Ms and their parents sent massive boxes of Rogers chocolates, which we’re still working our way through because there’s copious amounts of it. At this rate, it’ll be Christmas chocolate, but note: that’s not a complaint!
