What's not to love about a big pile of fresh apples in the grocery store? Look at those cheeks!

These droplets were not in the liquid state, they were SNOWFLAKES! It ain't summer any more.

the Birdfeeder...
Appears to have become a bird feeder. All evidence points to a visit by the neighborhood Sharp-shinned hawk, and the remains of his lunch. I am fairly certain Eurasian collared-dove was on the menu today.

Headed for the upper 20s tonight, his Straw Self may have a touch of frostbite in the morning!

a plethora of Prepositions
An abstract work of art created by the ambient light from headlights and the reflective properties of roadsign and roadstripe on wet pavement in the dark through the windshield.

looking Backwards...
...waiting for the other brother. The terrible twins have lost their infant spots and taken on the gray-brown insulating coats of winter deer. The amount of growing they have done since June is truly amazing.

Jose, can you See??
The beautiful original art background you have in your tank? The kids in our Art 2D class accepted my challenge to design backgrounds for Jose and the Guppies in my 2 aquariums. Who needs commercial backgrounds when skilled artists are willing to create a special environment?

candy corn Sunrise

| 7 am 10/11/11 |
One
of the most quintessential Halloween treats is candy corn. It was
invented in the 1800s by George Renninger, and the Goelitz Confectionary
Company began manufacturing the sugary kernels in 1898 in Illinois. Originally, candy corn
syrup was hand-poured into molds and required three separate layers to
achieve the traditional white, orange and yellow. A serving of candy corn is 19 pieces and will add 140 calories to your calorie count, if you are counting. So, now you know.

chewie Visits
Despite the fact that he is named for another movie character, Capt Jack Sparrow, the Schnauzer kid bears a strong resemblance to Chewbacca at the moment.
Jack yaps, but the original Chewbacca had a voice created from the sound recordings of walrus, lion, camel, bear, rabbit, tiger and badger vocalizations. There is something you can add to the conversation over morning coffee!

we need this in the form of Rain

| Rapid Creek, 44N 103W |
With apologies to blogfriends who are inundated with too much rain, we could use some here! Nearly 90 again today and crunchy. Rapid Creek is cold and clear and flowing merrily within its banks, not much help for the lawn.

South Dakota weather lore says if you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes, it will change.
