Things make a post...

Photos from our road trip to the gaming store in Lexington 2 weeks ago, along 43 and the Blue Ridge Parkway. We hit Peak Color at that point-



One from the parkway and one from 43.




Peaks of Otter from 460, and the private drive across from our drive.


Now, after rain last week and over the weekend, most of the trees are bare or well on their way to being.

Got our new dice from Black Oak Workshop. I picked a set from this latest run specifically with Morrigan in mind-



Void kitty was not impressed with the Void kitty dice and wanted scritches instead.


I think our thermostat is dying. It's not keeping time, back light quit working and it keeps throwing up odd errors. *Of course* the owner's manual that came with the house for it, tells me jack and shit. Need to do some online digging instead. *sigh*

Got a couple new bird feeders via Chewy, as well as suet. So all the feeders got cleaned and refilled. The plant stand that sticks in the yard got put back up, only we can't find one of the hooks for it. Likely buried under leaves. New feeders got put on that, and it was put in the middle of yard- in range of perches but not so close for squirrels to jump onto or Leo to wrap around. The double shepherd's hook was loaded up with single block suet feeders and put outside the bedroom window, again, far enough from trees that squirrels can't jump on it, but close to perches for birds.

They've discovered a few of the new feeders already and revisited older ones that are refilled. Definitely on a migration route for several birds.

Keep hearing what I believe is Nighthawks (Nightjars). Unfortunately they don't 'talk' long enough for the bird app to pick it up and id them. so I'm not positive. but they're most active right before dawn and right after dusk. They're really loud when they're right outside the window too.


Anyway. Back to doing laundry and weaving. Need to finish a few more scarves, gongerbread houses and ornaments by the 18th.
