November
1, 2007 ~ Thursday ~ pink sky in morning...overcast and gray
during the day...
with the return of a pink sky in the evening!
Stepping
out into the early morning the sky had a pink glow.
Looking through
the apple tree branches,
the moon was still visible at 7:00 am.
Tonight about 5:45 I looked out to see a rainbow
in a grayish pink sky!
November
2, 2007 ~ Friday... blue skies...clear and crisp
Brody positioned
himself so he could have a good view of Polly!
(Polly is sound asleep in the basket on the right)
Chippy is gathering sunflower
seeds froom the nearby bird feeder.
November
3, 2007 ~ Saturday... an overcast morning leads into an afternoon
with heavy rains and gusty winds... the remnants of Hurricane
Noel
Dogs and people gather in groups for a social time on the beach
just before the storm.
Ellie May hunkers down to spy on a chipmunk whose
cheeks are full of seeds as it runs towards her.
The rain and wind invigorates Ellie May.
Brody's been following me around and conversing with me
in his special way.
November
4, 2007 ~ Sunday... blue clear skies
Brody is
a dreamy companion today!
November
5, 2007 ~ Monday... sunny and brisk
Polly and
the tomatoes take on a special glow.
November
6, 2007 ~ Tuesday... a raw, dark, rainy day with a brilliant
clearing in the
late afternoon
When I emerged
from my studio around 4:30 pm.
I was struck by the beauty of an unexpected
glow in the sky.
November
7, 2007 ~ Wednesday... sun...bright and not too cold til mid-afternoon
when some clouds roll in with colder temperatures...brrrr
Who's the
Top Cat!
November
8, 2007 ~ Thursday...sun in morning ... bright and very cold
with clouds
moving in again in the afternoon....
The morning sun cast the shadow of the lace curtain
on the wall as Brody waits for me to make a move
to head upstairs with him.
Dave was working in the garden and
spotted a chubby, adorable nuthatch.
It must be a youngster for it was so
easy to get close to as I followed it
around the yard.
November
9, 2007 ~ Friday...overcast and raw but cozy inside
Polly is
ready for a cozy afternoon nap!
Brody would
prefer that the clean laundry remain
on the bed and never get folded and sorted
so that he can nest in it.
Ellie May is waiting for me on the old cot
so we can snuggle together.
Outside the clouds remain reminiscent of a
winter sky,
November
10, 2007 ~ Saturday...although it is sunny, it is bitter cold!
Brody tries
out a new basket.
In the impending
darkness, the trees
sillouette the sky.
This evening, Dave was shaking the
antique apple tree to collect more apples
before they are
destroyed by the bitter cold.
He has a secret admirer, following him as
he works in the yard.
November
11, 2007 ~ Sunday...clear blue skies and medium cold
Lots of gulls
walked the beach on this clear bright day!
Here's a drop in the bucket of the
Ashmead's Kernel apples that Dave
treasures....they ripen towards March!
November
12, 2007 ~ Monday... it is clear and in the 40's
Our thoughts
and love are with my Mom and wishing she feels better soon.
November
13, 2007 ~ Tuesday... sunny and in the 50's...warming up!
To our surprise,
we saw the Great Blue Heron
fishing today!
A clear night
with a sliver of a moon.
November
14, 2007 ~ Wednesday... blue skies and almost 60 degrees
Was a good
day for Dave to do repairs outside the house as
Polly sat on the couch wondering who was making the
racket outside.
Dave had a helper!
Polly is fascinated by the peacock feather within her reach....
November
15, 2007 ~ Thursday... an overcast gray dark day with sudden
heavy rain showers
every now and then...
Late this
afternoon, in between rain showers
I was so excited to go out in the garden and dig
for potatoes for supper.
To my surprise,
the darling cat who is a frequent
visitor to our yard appeared right behind me.
We wonder if she ever goes to her "real" home
or if she is looking for another home.
November
16, 2007 ~ Friday... the rain stays around all day but towards
late afternoon the wind picks up furiously and brings in Artic
air feeling like winter...
Looking out
the window, the sky has a winter feeling.
November
17, 2007 Saturday... a pristine day...clear cold and blue
Dave is planting
blueberries with his garden helper.
November
18, 2007 Sunday...sunny and clear
I wish all a
Happy Thanksgiving!
Madison and
her Dad
are kindly giving me a ride on their way home so I can see my
family in Connecticut.
I will probably be adding more to my journal at the end of the
week, so stay tuned!
November
19-23, 2007 Monday through Friday was also spent in Connecticut.
I saw a cow
in a tu-tu on Monday.
On Tuesday, it snowed!
Thursday was so warm, it was in the 60's.
On a walk I noticed this roof that had turned
yellow from fallen leaves.
My sister, Sharon made a delicious Thanksgiving dinner and
Sugar enjoyed it, too!
November
24, 2007 Saturday... sunny
We return to Maine....
Along the
way home, we stopped in Concord to see Papa George
and his mystery cat, Oliver. No one in the family has ever met
Oliver for he is a very shy cat when it comes
to anyone new. We had thought he had disappeared
into hiding when he heard our footsteps entering the house.
I checked the bedroom and noticed the blankets had a
slight bulge.
I gently touched it and it felt solid....carefully,
I raised the blanket, nothing under the first layer, but when
I
lifted the second layer, my eyes met Oliver for the very first
time!
It was wonderful
to see this heron on the way home.
While I was away, David had harvested the rest of the
potatoes and was very surprised to find one that
resembled a moose!
November
25, 2007 Sunday... sunny
The tide
was especially high this morning.
In the evening, we went out to find the moon rising with
a beautiful orange glow.
November
26, 2007 Monday...rainy weather
At night, Brody
has taken to leaping up to an alcove above the
bed nearly reaching the ceiling,
where he can look down upon us. Sometimes when we look
up, all we see are his white paws.
November
27, 2007 Tuesday...sun and clouds and not too cold

designated space when the time comes.
