it was warm and sunny now it clouded over...a good drive back not too much on the motor waynice to get home even though we enjoyed our selves had fish n chips last night in the car over looking the sea and the setting sun Very good to see you back, mouse. I'm glad you had a nice time. The weather's fine here today .. lots of sun with seasonal temps. We'll get a blow-by from Matthew, though .. probably tomorrow. Some of us went to a Halloween Haunted House last night. Some of it was a bit disturbing, but most was jolly good fun. The customers were adults and teens, no kiddies at all. Good. I think it's a little much when there are parents, pushing their little ones along through things that scare them. Unfortunately, it does happen. The kids think it's going to be a real live Scooby Doo show and when they get inside, they find it isn't quite so funny. Daughter baked brownies this afternoon. The whole house smells like a big fudge brownie. Yum ... think I'll have one later.

We're starting to have a little bit cooler weather and that's what it takes for the leaves to change here. We usually get our first hard frost in late October or early November. I'm not suer what's going to happen this year. We've had a few nice seasonal days, but the AC kicked on early this morning before I was out of bed. It's very bright and sunny, and birds are hopping around, still yumming up the dogwood and other berries. Seems a lot like a mid-summer morning. It's a national holiday here today. Nice, for a Monday.

A beautiful fall day. It is almost like summer except for the changing leaves and the tawny tones the foliage has taken on.
Yes, Beth, birds everywhere and squirrels, too, looking for supplies to pack away for winter. I scattered some nuts still in their shells yesterday and most are gone now. I have refilled the bird feeder this morning.
This is pie day. I baked banana cream and strawberry cream. The strawberries are less sweet now than they were back in the summer so I added a little extra sugar.
Off to grocery shop this afternoon.
A good day to all.

It has been a beautiful fall day. We are forecast rain for Friday, so need to get out and tend to errands tomorrow, including grocery shopping.
I see several threads I'd like to explore and some posts I'd like to respond to, but I am out of time. I'll be back to try again tomorrow.

today is sprinkles and overcast with a good breeze but I love it anyway as we don't get loaded down with rain all the time plus being a hermit makes it easier to accept

Our weather is hot and sunny again and is forecast to stay in the 80s F over the weekend and into next week. No rain until next week.
I am delighted Beth has put the newspaper links back up in a thread of their own. It's a great privilege to be able to check the articles and emphasis of newspapers all over this country and, indeed, all over the world without going to Google. So convenient. Look in Links and General Information for World Newspapers.
Thank you, Beth.
