We had snow and rain, cold and
sunny skies, and one of the weirdest Halloweens ever! Dr. M has a post with a
lot of the pictures I didn’t use here
– and if you want to see any critters you’ll have to go there!
Saturday,
October 27th
Dr. M took pictures of our mums
today.
I went to the benefit I talked
about here.
Jenny was radiant – in fact her mother said that she didn’t look sick enough to
need a benefit. But she was between chemo treatments so she was feeling pretty
good, all considering. She had her last treatment this week.

We moved Pinky inside for the
winter.
Monday,
October 29th
Dr. M took pictures of what the
middle of autumn looks like around here.
Tuesday,
October 30th
This was the day our town was
having Beggar’s Night (Trick or Treating), but Sandy gave us this, so it was
postponed until Saturday (see below about how that wasn’t such a hot idea).
So I pulled out my heavy winter
gear. It tickles me to wear stuff that I made. On the other hand, all that wool
is itchy!
I rarely wear these penguin
earrings – they’re over an inch long – but I try to pull them out close to
Halloween.
Water fowl enjoying the foul
watery weather.

October 31st
My coworker Mary dressed as a
junky with a monkey on her back. I told her that she should be drinking Red Bull
so she could be jittery for the role.
I was a witch.
The State of the Bug, in my
natural attire. Heh.
Thursday,
November 1st
I saw this by the Kroger where I was getting gas – pretty!
It was such a pretty day & Dr. M got some nice pictures
on his way home from work.
Friday,
November 2nd
Dr. M was stopped on the side of
the road Friday evening & took these shots. Lovely!
P.S. Here’s a preview of next
week – Dr. M handing out candy on Saturday afternoon. In the wintry mix
precipitation event that we were getting (while I sat inside & babysat
laundry & worked on this post – ha!). We didn’t want to disappoint the
kids!
Go to Sara’s blog here to see the blogs of
all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!
Most of our photos are taken with a 12
megapixel Nikon D5000 DSLR, using a 55-200mm zoom lens. This is the camera that
Dr. M takes with him most days. The Bug uses our new Nikon Coolpix S6200 most of the time. If
you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just ask!
You make a mighty fine-looking witch!
ReplyDeleteI remember a blizzard on Halloween when we lived in New York (it was my youngest son's first Halloween and just got totally snowed out).
You look so happy in your witch outfit. Like Glinda the Witch of the West, you m8st be a very good witch.
ReplyDeleteExcellent witch costume. Funny about your Halloween penguin earrings -- my boss at the NYT had a pair of roach earrings that she pulled out every year at Halloween. (Because after all, when ELSE would you wear them?) At least penguins could conceivably be a bit more versatile. :)
ReplyDeleteAll the flowers are so beautiful and the sunset on Friday...gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThat snow does NOT look nice. But oh, its coming so soon. :(
Love the scarf you made, too.
a witch with an ID tag? so we'll know which coven you're from?
ReplyDeleteWise witch. Jeans make the broom riding so much easier than those long skirts.
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend a longer broom handle for stability. You make a lovely witch, my dear. I just knew we were related!
ReplyDeleteYou got S**W? Poor thing. I would have taken to my bed for the day. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteLove the wordplay: waterfowl, foul watery.
As usual, beautiful flowers. And as usual, I am jealous.
great witch hat...love all the flowers, too!
ReplyDeleteHas Dr. M ever considered selling his prints, cuz' man! he gets some awesome shots sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI especially like both of the field pictures.
And, yes, your friend did look great considering.
Have a great week!
Such a cute witch!
ReplyDeleteI liked the pic of dr m sitting outside with his umbrella waiting on the trick or treaters. Did you get many?
Great photos every one!
ReplyDeleteThe first witch pic looks like you belong in Harry Potter.
And the flowers, oh, my gorgeous! Am I too late to buy some mums? Yours are so beautiful!
wow, SNOW!! We were just happy with some cooler weather!!
ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures of the flowers..so beautiful!!
You were a precious with. Loved the shot from near Kroger too...wow you have had snow...and gorgeous fall all in one week. Sadly...we just had cold. (That is cold for me....not you.)
ReplyDeletei like the field of pumpkins and the penguin earrings
ReplyDeleteGreat week. I know what you mean about wearing something you made yourself. After many years of knitting and crocheting I now have more scarves and hats than I can shake a stick at, but I feel really good to toss a scarf I made around my neck on a cold day...
ReplyDeleteBundle up and stay warm.
