Ghost Hunting
What an interesting Halloween I had this year. The evening found me on the historical Billings Estate for a couple of hours of ghost hunting. The group was led in the art of divining spirits by a psychic/medium from a nearby town. After some explanations and a quick lesson, we were turned loose to track the spirits in every nook and cranny of the 1829 house, with permission to wander wherever we pleased from the attic to the basement. No doubt the spirits were amused by our bumbling efforts to find them, armed with our wire coat-hanger divining rods.
The indoors hunt was followed by a quick visit to the old graveyard on the property, under the light of an immense full moon. It was a lovely mild night after a day of rain, howling winds and swirling leaves. And the house, in the shadows with the surrounding trees, looked like a postcard for Halloween.

Two for the Price of One
Getting ready to carve this year’s pumpkin reminds me of an unusual one we had the year before last. We were fortunate to find a Siamese pumpkin. What were the odds? You can clearly see that while they are joined, they each have their own set of pumpkin guts and seeds.

Brightening a Winter Day
Was lucky to come across this beautiful yarn at a local thrift shop. One bag was marked $1.99 the other was $2.99. So for $4.98 I was able to launch my latest knitting project, a winter scarf with a lovely nubbly texture. It's sure to brighten up a winter day.

Fragile Beauty #3
Another example of the fragile beauty of autumn leaves... that point where a leaf has crossed its blazing prime, the beginning of its decline. Such fragile beauty.
