Littlest birds sing the prettiest songs

Better, things are much better.

Halloween evening has been quiet, even with a big ole' lit up pumpkin welcoming folks at our front porch. Just as well, really, the first round of kids scored big - taking most of the candy we got for the night.

Things have evened out, it's not exactly quiet, but there's no sacrificing weekends or evenings to ventures that we do not choose. Holidays are coming, with good company guaranteed. and with the cold weather wrapping up gardening for the meantime, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve to help us get the yard tidied up & ready for spring.

It's cozy in the house tonight. Loads of reading to do now that we've hit the quiet evening hours.
