One of my hobbies is knitting but I don't seem to have much time to get much done. During the "October Surprise Storm" I had the time and the yarn do I made myself a pair of slippers. Mason liked them so I made him a pair also. His feet are so little compared to mine, it took no time at all to finish his pair.
I like having interesting looking rocks in my garden so Cory brought me neat turtle rock that he found on one of his job sites. You can't tell from the picture, but this rock is about two feet wide and looks like it's "conjoined". I'm hoping to someday have a quiet, peaceful, tranquility garden that this rock will reside in someday.
I finally took a walk back beyond the barn to the "lower 40" the other day with Nicki and Mason. Cory had been concerned about any damage done to some of our favorite trees including two large old tulip trees and a stand of maples. When we got back there it was a relief to see they survived with no damage. It was also good to see that a buttonwood tree had also escaped the storm with no damage. This is the area that Cory has his bonfires and so when I saw this burned tree trunk and roots with the new growth of weeds it made me smile to think that even after the destruction of the storm or in this case the bonfire, there is always new growth and restored beauty.
I have a theme party every year. "David" was given to me at the first party in 2004 and he has attended each party since. After a few drinks, he usually gets dressed. Some people might think it's a waste of good vegetables but we all thought it was pretty funny. I wonder how we will abuse him next year?

That's a great rock, looks like on All Hallow's something nasty will be born from the rock.
And David should be happy he was 'dressed' rather than castrated, at parties these things could go either way depending on the mood.
I was shocked to see David on your blog! Brought back some memories of all our laughter at each "David Dressing". He has great color!
