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.

Today is the full Harvest moon. 

Visited with Marcia as she was heading out for a walk.  

She was wearing her Halloween get-up and looked quite cute.  

Raking

Dale and I raked and bagged leaves today. It was loud outside. The guy behind Dale on the right was using was using a particularly shrill sounding leaf blower. The guys behind Dale on the left were using a chainsaw. 

Silver Maple

Sunday, October 18, 2020

The tree pictured above is our next door neighbor Jean’s back yard silver maple. The one shown below is our front yard silver maple. Although they are only a house length’s away from each other, Jean’s is always behind ours in terms of speed of leaf loss. Every year. Not like it gnaws at me but I’m curious as to why.

MEA Weekend

Saturday, October 17, 2020 

MEA weekend. Dale and I were supposed to go to Madeline Island but decided not to. Mostly because Dale's workload this past week was much higher than expected but also somewhat due to the wind advisories for tonight and tomorrow night. We didn't want to risk the possibility of not getting off the Island.

Although it would've been fun to make the trip to Madeline, it's warmer here which is more conducive to a cigar in the yard.
