Our fleece blankets are on the bed, and hats and gloves are out! This is the second time in a few days that I have read your Bonhoeffer quote.

It never seems to fail that Halloween is cold even if the whole month has been fairly warm. Wool socks, warm slippers, fleece blankets, the whole nine yards! I enjoy winter indoor activities and lots of hot beverages! Great journal pages! Glad those chickens are laying so well.

About the Ladybugs and luck. I think if those are the invasive ones imported from 'somewhere else' then they are decidedly unlucky. Especially for the native ones.<br />Roasted tomatoes are so good. I have only started roasting them in recent years and I don't know why I didn't do so before. Even an inferior tomato, once roasted, tastes good.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-53348601539619690892017-10-30T10:35:07.904-06:002017-10-30T10:35:07.904-06:00It's always a toss up on whether there will be...It's always a toss up on whether there will be rain or not on Halloween here. Everyone is always happy and boisterous on the non rainy Halloweens. Sounds like the perfect evening activities for the cold dark nights. Yum, tomatoes that taste like tomatoes right off the vine. :) Good for those chickens! What do you do with your excess? Do you sell some? Love your hen page!ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-46617635516297482972017-10-30T10:19:24.454-06:002017-10-30T10:19:24.454-06:00I love seeing pages from your journal.

I am always undecided about the time change, yes, I like the being inside earlier but that first week or so, I have such a hard time with it waiting for everyone to come home and its dark. <br />It sounds like your fall is almost gone and winter is on its way. We finally get temps down in the 50s this week. Halloween was always the first day my kids had to wear coats and shoes. I hope you have a lovely week, and your tomatoes are wonderful.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-35448847783325702472017-10-30T08:17:54.392-06:002017-10-30T08:17:54.392-06:00We are definitely colder today, but I'm sure n...We are definitely colder today, but I'm sure not as cold as you! Your black stars look very nice. I need to remember that breed for next year. Pretty tomatoes! Isn't that amazing! And they have hardly any calories, so do not feel guilty about popping those into your mouth. They're good for you, esp. this time of year when fresh veggies/fruits are hard to find in our gardens. Yes, I'm ready for dark, cool nights to be inside. We have a long way to go before we get snow though.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-39330394962162486562017-10-29T23:44:00.797-06:002017-10-29T23:44:00.797-06:00I had to enlarge the photo of your Fall Nature Jou...I had to enlarge the photo of your Fall Nature Journal to see its full beauty - what a talent you have.
