The connection was lost. Trying to connect again.
I came for the photos and I stayed for the community. "You all are like each other's cheerleaders on here." -my husband aka coffeemaker.

#DiaDeLosMuertos #DayOfTheDead #Flores #Flowers #Mexico
Today, my friends from Mexico stopped by to pick up the marigolds that I had for them. Marigolds are the traditional flower for decorating the home altar (ofrenda) for remembering the deceased.
A nice surprise was that they dropped off some homemade “pan de muerto” (bread of the dead). It’s a sweet bread decorated with crossed “bones” made of pieces of dough.

Meet Nugget. Nugget wanted a hat, and a staff, and for someone to throw a ball. Sorted the first two, now over to @felix

What a very fast fall here. Looks like we lost a lot of leaves already, noting I am farther back taking the shot here. Color is fading fast.

I love this little tree.
I posted it last year when everything else was bare and it was a flaming redhead. Now we’re clearly past peak and many trees are looking more leafless than not, and this tough little bitch is just getting going.

My god what a day.
As I've said before, no one moves to Boston for the weather. But every once in a while it pulls out all the stops with a glorious fall day like today. It's even maybe a little warmer than would be perfect for me but it's also HECKIN wimdy and what would be an icy blast on a seasonable day becomes a refreshing breeze. I just walked to work and it's so good. Also passed a tree so good it's gonna get its own post. 10/10 weather day.

Hey how's it going? I was thinking I hadn't seen you posting in a while. So I tried searching for your name, but I had forgotten about Frankenstein's snowblower. Then I remembered the starry part. Then the 86 part. And then finally the 10 part. It's funny how my brain finally got it all together, one step at a time.
So anyway I finally found you and realized that you've been posting as usual, but I had just missed them all.

Plush monarch flutterby and I send you softness, if you need it. I know I do, after a busy week.

These lone trash cans have dotted the high desert landscape of Nevada for decades. While on a family roadtrip in the '60s, we were crossing Nevada when my parents decided to stop at one of these pullouts & stretch their legs. After a few minutes one of my parents said, "Shh, listen to how quiet it is." I listened & thought, so that is what quiet sounds like? Only decades later did I learned that tinnitus sounds like cicadas buzzing. So for decades I thought quiet was the buzz of tinnitus. 🫤

A variant on a Nessie cocktail garnish I invented many years ago, if it's of use to anyone at this time of year. No trick, just cut whatever gummie and push either side onto the dry glass.
(Nessie went in and out several times, it looked pretty cool.)

It is good. But I need to pay a little attention to the artists' names!
