October 2023

Fall has fell... and it was a mild, colorful fall. The pumpkin crop was lean, but our garden did produce three pumpkins. 


Alice is not crazy about being cradled like a baby, but she lets Emily do it. If anyone else tries she'll bite your face off.


We got front row seats at a Rough Riders game! It's fun when players get body checked right up against the glass. Makes ya feel like you're part of the action. And we ducked every time a puck came flying our way. Reminds me of when me and my friends used to go to hockey games in high school.




Fall colors! We hiked around Palisades one morning as the sun was coming up, right at the peak of the bright foliage.



There were three eagles circling near us and I managed to get a shot of one.










"The warm October wind gusted strongly and great shades of light and shadow seemed to pass across the world."


Carving pumpkins!




Cynthia finished carving her pumpkin first. This was the only pumpkin from our garden that got carved.



My pumpkin:



Are they too old to be trick-or-treating?? 


You don't mess with Rick Grimes. CORAL!



It was a cold, windy Halloween and we only got 2 trick-or-treaters. Later that evening we burned our pumpkins as is our tradition at the end of Halloween.




And then the glass table they were on broke, but I had already put my camera away and missed it. Guess we'll be burning them on the patio next year!

Social-Distancing October

Some random stuff from an unusual October. We stream church services at home and talk to everybody via Zoom. It's a weird time.

Bike rides are a great social-distancing activity. So... we did lots of that:


A lot of cool murals keep popping up around town:


The Warriors games were sparsely attended since it was mostly immediate family members who could attend, plus each student could bring a friend. Check out the rainbow behind the uprights at the start of a game:


There's Rose cheering!




My license plates are being retired after 10 years. I dunno, I feel like the front plate was still OK:


People who take selfies with my phone get their pics posted:



We went on the Cider Stroll for one of our date nights:


Carving pumpkins! A fun family past time where we use knives and drills to put smiles on those pumpkin's faces:




Cynthia's pumpkin:


Emily's:


Mine:


Rose's:


October is breast cancer awareness month and Alliant Tower changes their lights to pink:


Wednesday Addams and a skeleton:



A flapper and I don't know... some dude from the 70s:
