If something ISN'T fun I probably won't tell you about it except as a warning.<br /><br />Cat Lover, The views are one of the best parts of living in vacationland, but there are trade-offs. I will get some studio time in the fall and will post pictures of pots and things in December.<br /><br />Sharon, Happy lights are one of the better inventions of the last twenty years. It's difficult not to take pretty pictures this time of year.<br /><br />anne marie, I can't believe we still have such rampant hunger issues in "the greatest country in the world."<br /><br />Silver Willow, It was and thank you!<br /><br />angryparsnip, I do have a couple of shots of the colonel doing his thing. Mr. Cool and Calm he is.<br /><br />Jenny Woolf, Thanks for the comment. The hiking trail is over 300 miles long and some people do the whole thing, but most just do shorter sections. It is foot travel only.<br /><br />Elephant's Child, No, thank YOU! I would love to spend our winters near your home which would avoid winter altogether. Alas, I can't do that so I make the best of what I have.<br /><br />Pixel Peeper, I am glad the darkness is your friend. I can understand and envy that, but it has other ideas for me.<br /><br />baili, Your world is so different than mine. It is one of the reasons I like to see and hear of it. Humans are very adaptable and interesting wherever they are.<br /><br />Janie J., You found the link! There were hundreds of bowls at last years feed and no two alike. I will have some pics in a couple of months.<br /><br />Robyn, Thank you! I know some things you contribute to your community and the world. We, as a species, are lucky to have you. Be careful out there in the land of wildfires.<br /><br />Ol'Buzzard, I would love to travel through the northeast in the fall. I think I would do it on my way to Celtic Colours in Cape Breton.<br /><br />jenny_o, Would love to be on Cape Breton Island about now for the colours and the music. Someday I will do it.<br /><br />Martha, Thank you and I hope your Thanksgiving weekend was wonderful.<br /><br />Debra, Have I ever told you how much I love all things maple? While I buy maple things here I like the ones I get from your side of the border even more.<br /><br />Diane, I can imagine your kitchen lights. I am reading your book number 11 right now and will always remember the phrase "lobotomized goldfish" until the day I die.

In our new house we installed kitchen lights so bright that visitors flinch when they're switched on - I'm hoping they will serve as my light therapy when the winter clouds close in. I'll take a page from your book and be sure to get out walking every day, too. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos as always, and congratulations on your bowl project - very cool! :-)Diane Hendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563115165301223420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108355111065091083.post-54919530375340587702017-10-10T15:00:36.322-07:002017-10-10T15:00:36.322-07:00That Empty Bowls program sounds really cool.
