Garage Builders update.

Night Tracks

They're back (or more likely, still here).

Sent East

The next storm is on its way east. (We're doing what we can to give you a white Xmas.)

The tree at 7:30 this morning (7 Dec. 09).

Bear Fruit

An apple a day does not keep the bears (or deer) away.
It has quite the opposite effect.

Before and after processing.

Not to be confused with bare fruit.

Main Street Sparkle

A couple snaps from this year's Sparkle parade.

Listening Post

FRC LRC

Turkey business

Epilog Books

Out of place

Taste / tasteless? Cute / weird / random dross?
No accounting.

Bare Fruit

The first snow of the season yesterday brought down most of the remaining leaves, leaving the fruits and nuts for winter.

Apples and Pears;

Cherries;

More Apples;

Crab Apples;

Catalpa;

Even more Apples;

Mystery fruit;

Sumac;

Quince;

And still more Apples;

Leaf Play

Must have been playing Ring Around the Rosie,
and when they got to "We all fall down.",
this happened.

Garage Builders

Trying to finish before winter sets in.

Ads

Too chilly for a lemonade stand and you had to pick up the fallen wal*nuts anyway.

This reminded me of another four-letter -zilla; before the fever.

But then I noticed the dealer. I guess this vehicle comes with mug-holders instead of cup-holders.

Jack O'Post '09

Here is this year's lamppost Jack-O'-Lantern.

See last year's here.

Jaw-O'-Lantern

For some reason everything you say sounds like jawboning.
or
'ears to an 'appy 'alloween!

The Tree

For all the Leaf-Peepers, here is a day-by-day slide show of The Tree this autumn.

I'll add more to the album the as the season progresses.

Looks like

This:

reminded me of this Lionel model train crane car

that was mine as a boy.

Even though it is up here,

a small part of the machine setting the foundation for the new Learning Resource Center (Library) under construction at the college.

Follow-up

Apple harvest.

... Monday, Sunday, ...
