Jenna had wanted to do a craft. We went and gathered pinecones on Tuesday. Yesterday we made these:
Jenna also found the perfect rock and painted a scene. I thought it turned out well.
Roland had purchased some sensors for the house in order to detect anyone in our driveway or anyone on our porch. One was more sensitive than the other and had gone off more times than needed. He decided he would take care of it when he got off work yesterday in addition to putting up lights for the stairs and moving the initial light he had purchased which wasn’t serving the purpose as he had hoped.
We were about to lose light and I didn’t want him to climb the ladder and not be able to finish the projects he had on his agenda. He was tired and I could sense that he was already frustrated without a darkness challenge. I suggested putting everything away and trying again today. He had the entire day off after all.
He asked me if I would go out with him at 11:00. The fog was still lingering and it was cold. Darn cold. 34 degrees Fahrenheit. I don’t recall ever being so cold in Oregon. Not even during snowmegeden when the power went out. COLD. The first picture was taken before 11:30.
The
fog started lifting after that.

I
turned on my computer to write down my thoughts. I was greeted by this picture.
My youngest niece and two nephews Halloween this year. I had to put this on my desktop because it makes me smile.
