The Hermit Club

Leaves are at their peak in the North Country!

This pic was taken from Facebook.

Teka- beautiful photo of leaves! Hope to see a little color in the city this coming week.

Lily- I think there is a lot of pressure on women after breast cancer treatment to "just get on with things." Our worlds are significantly changed after treatment, and for some women, the side effects and after effects can be huge. Be kind to yourself and best to take things one day at a time when feeling overwhelmed. I tell myself I am doing the best I can each day, knowing not all days will be equal. Hugs sister.

Jazzy,

Maples, oaks and elms are just a few of the trees in Central Park that create the beautiful autumn colors throughout the park.

*Good Morning Hermits*

The Fall colors are brighter with the dry weather in the North Country. 25*F

Jazzy and Sister, having a grand old time?

Lookforward, a food forest city park is an excellent idea. Hopefully, good location and interested gardeners.

Rolling along with my paper. Got close to the halfway mark!

Good morning friends- first weekend in weeks where I have not had to be up doing things, traveling, etc. Slept in a bit this morning, ahh....

Hi friends- I like Halloween but usually don't do the candy thing anymore. I live in a community where there are kids or they drop them off here and it gets crazy. Given it's a Monday night, rethinking it this year and may do it for a few early hours and then shut off the light. Sometimes the little devils bang on the door long after the light goes off!

My client site does a costume party for Hallloween, and usually I don't do it, but going to stop by with a fun "madhatter" hat I found in Sept for $10. I can go in with it for an hour to the room and then take it off the hat and leave. Might be the only fun I have in that place this month?

Teka- my mother used to buy big bags of candy a month before Halloween and eat them up before mid month. There was always chocolate in our house growing up the whole month of October.

I love roasted pumpkin seeds. I need to get a pumpkin this weekend!

I have spent the last 6 weeks ramping up for some craft shows.

Holy Cow!

Probably won't do candy on Halloween. We don't have a lot of kids in our neighborhood and we are usually the only ones on our street that give out candy. When we first moved here the kids came in droves and we would run out fairly early. Last year we were lucky if we got a dozen kids. Had two full bags of candy left that night!

All nice and cozy in my pjs. Gonna get a cup of tea and read in a bit.

Just being a hermit today. Thinking about going out in a bit and rake some leaves so hubby can bag them later

Hubby and I bagged the leaves I raked yesterday.

Magiclight- end of the year holidays not my favorite either. I love Winter Solstice and go to a yoga practice to celebrate change of seasons. I hope to be soaking in the hot springs over Xmas weekend.....

Ilovejazz...Hottub Xmas weekend sounds wonderful. I have a couple of getaways in mind, but they depend on the weather as they require going up the mountain where it snows and I do not like driving in the snow. I like being someplace when it snows so I can hibernate, but not getting there.
