Hello, Readers!
I love fall!
Even the hole in this tree at camp feels my adoration!
We were there last weekend.
It was unseasonably warm,
and we enjoyed
every single minute of it.
We enjoyed with warmth,
but were concerned with the level of the creek.
So shallow!
It is still very dry,
so heed Smokey's warning.
It really made me think about my world
with warm Octobers.
It teases the brain in really difficult ways.
What impacts will the rising temperatures
have on the flora
and the fauna?
We were there to ride the Tour de Forest.
It is one last trail ride party
before they close for the season.
We pulled out in the morning
at 7:30am and it was 42 degrees!
Hazel was not happy!
She warmed up after a bit
and enjoyed our three hour ride.
Meanwhile at home--
Gus and Whitford were holding down the fort.
Here are a few more things to tease your brain.
October night skies
and the wee early morning skies
are equally stunning.
We are just three weeks away from
setting the clocks back!
How do these deer get to the Rolling Ridge parking lot
in the mornings?
How will Ellen create a tile pattern
to cover the top of her latest roadside find?
I listened to a thought provoking podcast
about the difference between
being nice
and
being kind.
I am definitely not a nice person,
and I state that with a confident pride.
I opened class this week with this set of Brain Teasers.
These puzzles are a favorite
of my students.
I lost the answer key--
or never had one to begin with;
I'm not sure.
Nevertheless,
we could not figure out the answers
for numbers
11
12
and
14
Can you be kind enough
to help the Questies out,
Readers?
Enjoy your October weekend.
Eloise
