Freaky Friday

I took my first walk today since Monday (yes, I know this contributes to my insanity, not getting out), and hit this trail where I was duly spooked by this jack-o'-lantern while talking to Velma on the phone. She gave me good warnings about hunting season, which is no joke around here. At the entry points on the trail, they all warn of archery hunting.

We got our first snow today! Just a little flurry in the morning that didn't stick and more flurries later, nothing drastic, but winter is making its way! I got work done in fits and spurts after Ben dragged me out of bed at 6am, unwillingly, but it made for good headway on various projects. I started to read Brenda Ueland's If You Want to Write, which got me through the post-nap "I never want to get out of bed" slump, and even got to talk to Katherine for the first time since July! It's so good to have her back in the country.
