1. First turkey in the freezer! Every year I get three in November while they're on sale at such a good price per pound and use them later in winter and spring.
2. Enjoyed watching pelicans at the pond
3. A perfect little wooden star and a tiny mouse charm in my Twig and Toad package
4. Early darkness

1. Sleeping comfortably recently

2. Flu shots

3. In tears at Trader Joe's because Maggie May came on in the music -- long ago memories really hitting hard

4. More blue victories! In particular, Colom wins Mississippi senate race, first black senator for Mississippi in more than 140 years

5. I feel good this evening, not hurting.

A new phlebotomist

Handel's pumpkin pie ice cream

Carefully chosen words

Sourced and ordered the red felt for the vests

Tillamook jalapeño honey cream cheese

A good crop of lemons this year but very few oranges and zero persimmons

The sun is low. The shadows are longer.

A new set of Kaffe Fassett woven stripes

A coyote yipping in the early morning darkness

The trumpet vine hedge out front has so many blooms

Dave made a delicious cheesecake for Jess's birthday celebration

I'm realistic about my limitations
