More mums!
After getting them potted I lit up a Romeo y Julieta and sat outside.
Gorgeous weather (especially considering it's October).

MEA Weekend 2024 - Raking and a Cigar
Saturday, October 19, 2024
Dale and I got some raking in today and we were pretty proud of ourselves because of it.
We filled up a few leaf bags.
Earlier we stopped at Bachman's for some mums.
Got 'em potted the old green pots which are starting to crumble. Oh well, I guess you could say it's just a more rustic look.
Maybe we'll stop again tomorrow and get some more.
Rewarded myself with a cigar after the yard work.
Had a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur #1, one of my favorites.

MEA Weekend 2024 - Thursday
Thursday, October 17, 2024
Cigar this afternoon while Dale went on a walk.
When he returned he sat down with me and we enjoyed the beautiful autumn afternoon. Dale commented on the sun being so much lower with the golden light it produces and how pretty it looks filtered through the colored leaves.
Visited with Marcia as she was heading out for a walk.
She was wearing her Halloween get-up and looked quite cute.

Cigar Time
Sunday, September 22, 2024
Perfect day for a cocktail and a cigar in the backyard.
It's been an above average September temperature-wise. Previous months this summer were pleasantly average. Today we finally got some weather that appears as if fall may be approaching.
Nice to get a leather jacket weather kind of day.

Other Tiger Lilies around the block are doing pretty well.
Ours are looking rather sparse.

The Full Strawberry Moon
Friday, June 21, 2024
Full moon today.
According to the Old Farmer's Almanac: "June’s full Moon—typically the last full Moon of spring or the first of summer—has traditionally been called the Strawberry Moon. While strawberries certainly are a reddish-pink color and are roundish in shape, the origin of the name “Strawberry Moon” has nothing to do with the Moon’s hue or appearance. A Moon usually appears reddish when it’s close to the horizon because the light rays must pass through the densest layers of the atmosphere."
Also according to the Old Farmer's Almanac: "This Strawberry Moon name has been used by Native American Algonquian tribes that live in the northeastern United States as well as the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples to mark the ripening of “June-bearing” strawberries that are ready to be gathered. The Haida term Berries Ripen Moon reflects this as well. As flowers bloom and early fruit ripens, June is a time of great abundance for many."
