Brisk fall morning

Out early this morning with Moose.  The half light of the hunter's moon lit our walk down Liberty Road.  Spent yesterday morning digging roots of buckthorn from our woods.  Who knew that those roots were so obnoxiously deep and intertwined!   Need to continue the process this morning - after more caffeine!

Sounds of shot guns in the distance, bird hunting has begun.  I'm happy our property is a no hunting zone, yet the sounds are a bit unnerving as I ponder heading in to the woods.

The process of getting ready for cold weather continues.  Outside potted plants will move to the breezeway today.  Dahlia bulbs need to be dug.  Debating about how long to leave carrots underground, may leave them another week - amazingly, the moles haven't found them.

Bill is in process of putting in a larger window in our downstairs bedroom, the transom glass to fill in the window space is ordered.   Need it to arrive before it gets much colder - plastic in our bedroom window does not make me happy.  Although it gives a sense of camping and we never did get out camping this season.   Didn't go canoeing either, what is wrong with us?  Perhaps not too late for a canoe outing?

Dinner at Good Earth Restaurant last night with Bill, Amy and Megan.  A lovely evening.  Didn't bring home any of their bread, so will bake some of my own this morning.
