It will be a short blog today as I find myself more involved with correspondence these days. But Ron Angert our guy in Astorga reported that Karen Kelly our gal in Cambridge, England showed up there for a visit. And they sent a pic.

Walking in a minute loves, Felipé.

We are experiencing some beautiful days in between the rains. I am walking momentarily, the Thursday morning walk. It is lovely but we are expecting rain later today and lasting for a few days. Yea, that how it goes. But we hit the trail in most all weather.

Monday 0900-1000
Tuesday 1600-1700 (tapas after)
Thursday 0900-1000
Sunday 1600-1700 (tapas after)

This schedule will hold through October. Then on November 3rd, the end of daylight savings we will start our afternoon walks at 1530.

Felipé.

The days are getting shorter and the temps are steadily falling. October it is. The trees are starting to turn with the pears leading the way with a dark red. The deer are getting real serious about gathering calories to put on fat for the months ahead. And I haven’t started to get organized to start feeding the birds. Think that I will wait for the time change.

The new wood stove sits in it’s spot on the hearth. Today is the day to clean the chimney and hook it up. Have to start adding heat to our living quarters. No foolin says Rebecca. Then the propane tanks need filling. That is the fuel for the cook stove. Don’t want to run out cooking the Thanksgiving turkey. With wood and propane we are not dependent on electricity which can be down for days some winters.

We had tapas out on the deck yesterday with Henriette. We were all bundled up with sweaters. But it was bright and dry, so good. OK, just looked up when daylight savings is over for the year. It is 2am PT Sunday November 3rd. So, the walk that day will start at 1530, a half hour earlier til spring.

Off I go. Off to work on Autumn, a time of change.

Autumn loves, Felipé.

Cris has Spring in Argentina, William has snow in Canada and we are somewhere in between. Time is cooking by and maybe the next Veranda isn’t so far away. This will have to be short today as there were lots of Comments to read and lots of emails to answer. Correspondence takes up more and more time.

Had a great letter from a man that brought his two small sons to the showing in Seattle. I see a father taking his little men very seriously. His letter was very thought provoking and and genuine. We have a great audience.

Last night we got the throughly enjoyable chance to have dinner with Terry Hershey and our longtime friend Nancy. Terry has a outstanding blog entitled Sabbath Moment. It comes out every Monday like clockwork. Check that out when you get a chance.

We had a frost last night, the first. The new wood stove is close to being hooked up but not quite. We have lots of beautiful maple firewood ready to go. Maybe by the weekend.

like clockwork loves, Felipé.
