Turkeys and other things

 The picture at left is from a few days ago, when it was mizzling, as Nancy said - a fine, misty rain.  For shelter, some wild turkeys hung out under a small oak tree on the front lawn.





The rest of the pictures are from today, which was one of those gray sky fall days, which often show colors the best.  This picture is looking down part of the hayfield, toward the woods in back.  The grass is short in places because of the extra mowing we did this year, in order to knock back the weeds a bit.
 This is a picture of some green pumpkins, under pumpkin vine leaves, under pine trees.  The pumpkin vine decided to come up in the middle of the "no good hay" pile.  The leaves are just showing the beginning of a mildew, which isn't surprising this late in the year.

George and I cleared some old ply wood out of the basement.  I just painted part of a bed frame, and sanded a bookshelf to clean it up.  Two new lamps came in the mail.  One of the two unused bedrooms is almost set to be used, and a contractor is helping us with the other one.
