Halloween

Happy Halloween!  K and Z had some friends over today.  We spent the morning shopping and early afternoon gathering wood for a fire.  The friends came over mid afternoon.  We walked the property, visited and a had cookout.  After the sun set we watched Over the Garden Wall.  They have a projector and screen.  We used the seats from the bus and sat outside like at a drive-in, only without the car.  We set up a kerosene heater between the seats.  It didn't keep us warm, but it gave us a place to stand to get warm if needed.  There was frost on some of the equipment by the time it was over.  I was inside by 9:15, so I guess it is cold out.  I forgot how tired cold makes me.  Happy things for today:

• Monday is my meal prep night and I think I know what I am making and have everything I need for it.
• I have wonderful family and friends who tell me what things are when I don't know.
• Gideon and I made pigs in a blanket for today.  The 'pigs' were all beef, so we called them cows or calves in a blanket.
• Walking around the property this afternoon.  Many leaves have fallen but it still looks so much more alive compared to when we moved here in April.
• I have surprised myself be completing Inktober.  
• Being able to sit outside in the yard to socially distance a show.

We found a mouse outside.

The brightest star is Mars.
