Pretty sad state . . .

Hope the frost holds off.  These berries are so good.

Pretty sad state of affairs when I have to stop on my walk back from the end of the road to talk to a very long tailed chipmunk so he will cross in front of me without worrying about what I will do! He was carrying an unshelled nut that was as big as his head and holding on for all he was worth. He finally managed to get it across the road without being hit. Oh how nice it is to see natural life unfolding before your eyes. There were two Goldfinches watching our discussion and when they were satisfied that I meant no harm they flew back to eating the seeds from the weeds along the roadside.

Waiting for P&D's Pop to get back from mowing the flying field. Then we'll be off to Oakland Beach, RI for lunch. Debating whether to bring the Panasonic for a possible photo shoot or just take the time to watch the waves rolling in and out. Big decisions. Kiddo will be home with his parents tonight and I'll go there Monday evening for a while. Thinking of getting him a second stage helicopter because he handles his first one so well. We'll see.

Saw younger sister this week and she's looking great. I brought her friend to visit also. We had a good time. Also stopped to see younger brother and his wifey. Nice to see them and their beautiful home and gardens. Seems like I hadn't stopped in for a while. They had a super good trip to Alaska and Seattle. It's always good to see the calming effect a trip away from the usual can provide. Looking forward to our stay in Louisiana.
