Greetings from Michigan! I am pleased as Punch to be in a proper autumn. I’ve had no time to write; I will tomorrow. Here are some photos.
Patience above! Brother #3 has my trick-or-treat plastic pumpkin from my youth! It was a joy to see it.
Brother #3 decorated his fireplace with Halloween knick-knacks and a portrait of our great-grandmother Eloise. She is a bit creepy in context.
Here is Urs Truly dressed in the height of covid19 fashion, on the way to the cider mill.
The cloudy day doesn’t give half-justice to the fall colors.
The quite-crowded cider mill has the obligatory pumpkin patch.
Here are Princess-Goddess, Warrior-Queen, and Posthumous Thomas picking pumpkins at the overpriced pumpkin patch. Brother #3 thought to get the kids pumpkins at Meijer Shifty Takers as they are cheaper. He’s no fun; he falls right over. I get to play the rich uncle and buy the niblings their pumpkins on-site.
The place quite crowded; there are lines for everything.
Someone erected this orange bell pepper – or is it a habanero?
The dear nieces!
Here is Urs Truly having his long-awaited cider.
Here is Urs Truly with Brother #2.
Someone suggests the cider would be better with some rum with it.
