November 1 Mishmash

40°f/4.4°C, mostly clear.

November. Here we are, closing out another year. Does it seem to you that we got here very quickly? Tomorrow is All Souls Day; if youre curious about the day and traditions, check out this post I wrote some years ago.

Since we seldom get any trick-or-treaters at our house, I decided to put the treats in a bucket at the top of the hill. I put a rock in the bucket too, since it was pretty breezy, and set little battery candles around it for when it got dark. Candy on the honor system, you might say.

By the end of the evening the bucket was empty. I had colored gel pens in there along with candy for those that don't like chocolate (are there such people?).  So I wonder: did people take what they should have, or did someone just empty the bucket? I prefer to think they were nice!

The impatiens are still looking lovely. I think their color is even more intense now.

The chickens are very happy in their new home. We are putting in a solar light soon.

We already have this solar fence charger for the garden fence. It does a great job. The new coop is inside the electric fence so it provides double protection from predators.

And just in case you ever wanted a set of stone balls...

Not mine, from Facebook, but the ad sure made me laugh. Bad granny.

Enough for today! Oh, and rabbit, rabbit, rabbit!
