hundreds of these birds gather for a feast, they can empty this feeder in a day.

Thanksgiving...

Baby Shower invitations

I've been cutting and gluing and making bows all day... the invitations are now ready to be mailed.

a trip to farmers market

I love all the color at the farmers market.  Everything is so fresh and yummy.  Marigolds... tomatoes....leeks and persimmons.

pumpkins on the porch

I didn't get around to carving Jack-o-lanterns this year, so I'll enjoy these pumpkins through Thanksgiving.  Maybe I will carve some welcoming luminaries?

snow day event at One Way boardshop...Colt, his girlfriend Taylor, and Clint

So long....

Clint has been growing his hair out for 3 years.  He finally decided it was time to give it up, ready to donate it for a better cause... I thought he might shed a tear at the thought of loosing his mojo, but no... he handled it like a man!  12 inches were donated to locks of love.

The final cut.
