It's November 1st!

Can't believe we're starting the next to last month of this year. Bet I only wrote 2 checks for 2010, and that's hardly enough to get used to the numbers. Ah well.

Today was a day that lived in famy, as opposed to infamy. This either means that something really terrific happened, or else I got to go shopping all by my lil' ol' self...oh wait, I DID go shopping all by myself :-D

Let's hear it for no distractions while driving!

As I returned home and pulled in the drive, what did I see but all the overgrown summer squash, attractively arranged around a prominent pine.
Nolan the artist, at work once again.

I guess it wasn't enough to let them lie hidden in the weedy garden.

Nevermind that I came back from the Hoyt reunion, found them huge and then lost heart in the cultivation of mutant cucubitea.

No...now they are right out by the road, where everyone can see the Master Gardener's missed harvest, and take note that even the beasts of the field have no interest in Ma's garden produce.

I'm sure Nolan thought he was doing a cool thing.

Trevor didn't have anything to show me, but I had something to show him.

I stopped by the Weikerts and retrieved the boy's lost baseball glove. It had inadvertently been taken back to their house after Family Camp.

Inadvertently, as opposed to Trevor being responsible and returning it to our car.

ANYWAY, baseball season may be over, but the bonnie lad is glad for his cherished glove.
Forget the false humility or false braggadocio...I think this is one snapping, great picture.

A bit of back lighting...the angles in the background that contrast with the curves of humanity....the edited soft focus and focal black and white...it all adds up to one thing:

Ma's dumb luck strikes again!

To finish off the evening....tonight's sunset.


When it comes to beautiful skies, You just can't beat livin' in the country.
