Still here … we did not get ‘et by a bear :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a gorgeous several weeks: color, weather, general ambiance! Work is going well. Winter prep chores almost done … AND …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I ordered new windows for the 1\/2 in the house that are old metal and moldy wood. The style is as above … what Andersen calls “gliding”. And I ordered black frames inside and outside. The material is the same as my new front door: Fibrex. They are super quality in build, glass, energy efficiency … and can be cleaned from inside … AND the screens are special also in that you can barely see that they are there, so even better to take photos of any passing bears, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been receiving flyers from the company and decided to follow up and find out about them. I bit: hook, line and sinker – super nice, professional and personable designer\/sales person who had samples and tech info galore! I am very happy. The downside is that I am on the schedule for March-April 2022. BUT, that gives me some time to round up the $$$. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The western larch are bright gold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even though, it is starting to get messy, needle-wise, the color has been spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And some snow on the mountain tops…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add some cloud color to the gold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indoors, a new bread recipe that I am loving…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Apple, raisin, walnut sandwich loaf naturally leavened (sourdough). The recipe author says that it makes the BEST grilled cheese and I did like the grilled cheese I made with it, but I LOVED the turkey sandwich better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have been buying deli turkey online and it is wonderful. After the first 2 orders, I “stocked up” and I think that my Thanksgiving dinner might be a turkey riff on Shepherd’s pie or a turkey pot pie or something like that vs the usual turkey dinner. We will see :) !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here, at 48 North, the days are getting short … currently 10 hours of daylight to 14 hours of dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This Winter’s indoor gardening experiment: herbs and grow light sunshine helpers. It has been almost 3 weeks and so far, all are thriving. The oregano (top right) is the only thing that I am currently a bit concerned about. I am speaking encouragingly to all and asking if they need more light or less and how about the water\/food situation? I have high hopes as they are not only delicious, but also pleasing to the eye in my office space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the shorter days, come more walks in the dark…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The dark o’clock walks are beautiful, though and light from the house always looks so welcoming as we make the turn to home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

End of October … so far, a beautiful Autumn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
