winter gave us a pass this year. Pretty much temps mid 60's plus intense sun at high altitudes make it warmer during the days.... I start with a photo of my front porch (alas no snow on it)
I love photography and have continued to try art photos this week along my walks
many are brought to you by the color gray

with snow that melted in two days. Three days later the temps are in the 60;s in the sun headed to sustained heat. We might have had random warm days in the past winters but now
too warm all the time but for one or two days of cold. We looked forward to cold winters when we decided to move here.
On my walks this week

Our conversation starter this week:
do you decorate with traditional things year after year? what are they and can you show us? has there been a year when you didn't feel like dragging out the decorations and how did you handle that?
Like most people I have traditional things, certain Quilts I always display, and if the year is like this one, very few come out....because anything that comes out will have to be put away ...

snow's melted now, we are having sunny days in the mid 70's instead of cold and snow. I HATE this.
Reports say it's now the trend, due to climate change, luckily I met a nice couple on a walk this week and they moved here for cold too, he said they'll be moving out because this is due to climate change and and they like cold too. It was a blessing that they weren't science ...

welcome to this week's list of likes.... interrupted by some dislikes... ahem...

starting with some more neighborhood Halloween displays
how about this purple to blue sparkly BIG spider... a la Harry Potter!
welcome to this week's list of likes.... I liked this neighbor's decor
on our walks this week we explored another 'hood and they had a nature area... old, unspoiled, quiet,
reminded me of Florida preserves... we stood for a long while, just breathing in and out, letting our eyes drift and our brains take a break
some homes were built along the preserve, and we thought that might be nice

| it says Kissing Booth |

| piles of golden orange leaves underfoot |
the temps are in the 80's mostly still but I "want" to pretend it's fall weather so I have been wearing capri's and 3/4 sleeve tops....
