Happy Halloween! Time to get your spook on!! We are going out with our grandkids to downtown Edmonds. At 4:00pm the Edmonds Library hosts "Halloween Bash" for all ages which includes the reading of scary tales. At 5:00pm to 7:00pm the streets are closed to cars and participating merchants will be handing out treats in front of their businesses.

Happy Thursday, hope your week is going well. We have a bit of rain here in the Seattle area, I know, what's new???? Today's card is a kind of Fall/Thanksgiving card. I always think of Thanksgiving when I see Pheasants, not sure why but I think it is because when I was first married, my husband and his father would go out in the cold, foggy, dreary weather of November and hunt for Pheasants and Doves. They probably only did it 2 or 3 years, but it has stuck with me.

Have a great day and see ya tomorrow.
