I know I said I'd post a better update in my last blog post. Truth is that lately I have *not* wanted to sit and work on the computer if I don't have to.
Then, when I looked on my camera roll I discovered I didn't actually have as many photos as I thought I did. Oops.
Some of what I did have included sky photos.
Pretty, right?
I have no idea what kind of weather we wound up with on this particular day. This was right as the sun was coming up, and I was out and about in the back yard. Probably picking up branches.
Things were sort of left hanging with the garage renovation updates.
Well, *finally* the stuff we ordered came in.
It was a treat putting everything together. And by that, I mean putting the casters on.
Then, did I take proper photos? No. This is the only photo I shot. And this one was after another thing we ordered was delivered and we set things up.
And I tell you what, I'm too lazy go go drive the truck out of the garage, to get proper photos. So, this will just have to suffice.
In the last few weeks I have reveled, REVELED in being free of pain. It's been so wonderful.
It's been such a bummer that the weather has been changing because then I haven't spent very much time outside.
Oh, but I did do a day trip of sorts last week. If you count going to a park with your son after a doctor appointment and running to the stores a day trip.
We were over in Duluth and he said "Hey, lets go to Enger Tower." I said "Okay!"
Cause even with the crappy weather, I was eager to be outside and moving a bit, after being sedentary for so long.
It's been years since I've been to Enger Tower. So everything seemed completely unfamiliar to me.
I commented to my son that everything was so atmospheric, and I felt like I was in Wuthering Heights.
"Huh?" he said.
"Nevermind," I replied back to him.
He told me of a *quicker* way up to the tower.
It might have been quicker, but there was SO much erosion around the steps that I was having to step high to walk on them. I gave up and walked on the path next to the stairs.
When I got up to the top I was breathy and said I felt like I just pulled a deer out of the woods.
My son ran up those stairs. Or maybe he ran along side the stairs. I was too busy looking down so I wouldn't trip so I didn't see what he was doing.
The tower was closed for the season. Bummer. We meandered around the other part of the park before heading home.
Everything was all put away for winter. Bundled up and covered in leaves.
Yup, the whole place was full of atmosphere. We were the only ones there, too.
I tried to get a photo of the two of us together. Every photo I tried to take of us, one of us was making a face, or had our eyes closed. Oh well.
We made it back by to Tower, and the parking lot. I took one last photo of the tower before we left.
The lone Carolina Reaper plant I brought in to the house has put out a few peppers.
Carolina Reapers in November, in Zone 4a. Wow.
Shortly after I brought the plant in the house it dropped a bunch of it's leaves. I was concerned the plant was going to die on my, instead of going dormant. Instead, it put out some more peppers. What is it going to do next?
I think I mentioned it somewhere that my crafting has slowed way down. I've been working one things just a little bit at a time.
Book reading has picked up a bit. I've been reading "Crossing to Safety" the last few weeks. It's been slow reading, however.
That's about the long and short of it, for now. Entering a more quiet season is still taking a bit of getting used to. No having garden stuff has left me feeling a little more at loose ends than I thought I would. Also, the time change is wreaking mild havoc. At 5 p.m. it feels like 7 p.m.
Okay. That's all for now. Thanks for being here. 😊
