Here are some pictures to get the bad taste out of your mouth from those rude signs.
I have been enjoying my drives home from work and from the girls' school because the leaves are so lovely. I don't enjoy the drives there so much, because it's still semi-dark.

Driving the other direction today, I got a chance to read the OTHER side of that sign:
C'mon people - play nice!
What has happened to common decency?
I saw this sign by the road yesterday.
If you can't make it out, it reads "BRING BACK WITCH TRIALS BURN PELOSI HILLARY SLOWLY."
I can't wait until this election is over!
There is definitely a chill in the air recent mornings, and the woods around us are blooming with color.
They have finished our new well, and we are using (and enjoying) the water. They have re-seeded grass where they trenched the electric and water lines, and JP re-seeded lower where he scraped off (and then tilled in) the residual slag from drilling. Hopefully the tiny bit of rain we've receive this afternoon will help it sprout before the first frost.
The winter rye has come up in the garden, so here goes our first attempt at a cover crop!
We all have off for Columbus Day tomorrow, so are considering a trip north to the Pumpkin Patch, weather permitting.
A couple more coffee drinks we've enjoyed a few times in recent weeks:
Granitas - kind of like an expresso slushy, which we first enjoyed in Philly's Italian market with my brother-in-law last summer. Basically make strong coffee, flavor it with sugar and vanilla, and freeze in a shallow baking dish, scraping and stirring with a fork every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency, then top with whipped cream.
Iced Coffee Float - mix a packet of cocoa mix into a cup of strong, hot coffee, pour into a glass over a scoop of vanilla ice cream and top with whipped cream. Yummy.
Made some funnel cake today since we missed the fried food at the fair this summer!
