Aunty Marlene's visit



We had a GREAT visit with Aunty Marlene.



























She met with friends, went to the zoo, and had a great visit!!


We hope she can come back soon...and bring Uncle Stew with her!




We didn't know it then, but this giraffe was very pregnant. She had her baby on Friday!

Buh bye gardening

October was a notable month for the hundreds of lady bugs we watched soak up the sunshine on the southern side of our house the last week of October.

Their antics delighted us on a mild, sunny day.

We picnicked outside under an umbrella to keep them off our lunch.

Much to the delight of P&B, while we admired them, we were also literally tickled by them as they landed on us, our faces, hair, necks, etc.
