Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Dawn shows the ridge on the other side of Swannanoa Valley, Nov. 1, 2025. The ridge is so high it makes me feel safe. I can also see cars zoom past on I-40 in one gap in the trees.

A new month!

 





Jade pendant in the form of a rabbit, Western Zhou Dynasty, circa 900 BC

Happy November! or rabbit, rabbit, if you prefer!

A new mural in my town.


Just admitting how much I prefer coffee. (with a croissant or scone as well!)

Glad we got that straight! (Strait?) wait, that's a homonym!


Sharing with Saturday's Critters.

    1. Oh wow, a very uncomfortable word damage infers, either way you look at it.

    1. Thanks, it is fun (for me) to read those grammatical things, which I usually forget within minutes. Fruitfulness sounds delightful! Happy Samhain to you (again.)

    1. It's believable here because we had our first frost/freeze. I kept saying, the frost is on the pumpkin. When I lived up north often Halloween would be our first snow.

  6. I love that first picture! It took me years to learn the difference between affect and effect, and now I use dictation and it always gets it wrong.

    1. Me too, and when the dictation spells things so wrong, I do laugh, or sometimes get mad.

  9. It’s November, you say? Now how did that sneak up? I’m so enjoying your coffee rabbit this morning. I can’t put off some sewing for wonderful relative today but it certainly won’t be happening till after I’ve had my coffee. I’m saving my croissant to make a lunchtime sandwich. Have a happy and make some plans to keep looking ahead. It helps.

    1. You reminded me that I need to stop by the grocery store and see if I can pick up some croissants. As much as I like the fresh ones at a bakery I prefer a package where I get four or six for the same price as one. I’m thinking chicken salad would be good on one for lunch,

    1. It’s embarrassing that I didn’t take that myself, since I just don’t go walking along where those shops are most days. But isn’t it a beauty?

  13. That mural is beautiful, Barbara, and certainly looks welcoming to visitors. The English language is full of eccentricities and uncertainties and I even have trouble with some of the terms listed…after so many years 😏
