Moon and clouds this morning…

Morning coffee at Odd Fellow Cafe… the weather outside is frightful. Winds 40 mph. No ⛴️ today! What luck that we booked passage yesterday on the only ferry not buffeted by wind and wave or outright canceled this week.

Waiting for the ferry to Block Island…

Local creek. When the level is up it’s quite the boiling and churning cauldron of water.

Left about 5 AM this morning for Block Island RI. We will spend Christmas there. Stopped at Linda’s for breakfast sandwiches before picking up Mother in Law, fresh out of hospital. We are charged with helping her build strength and put on weight. We can do that!

From this AM…

Still a work in progress but closer to final form. It’s good to be back to making books.

Self.

Do you?

Working on a little photo booklet to give to family and friends for Christmas this year. This is proof of concept. There will be refinements in next iteration.

From yesterday…

First cookies of the season, Molasses Cookies with a Kick. The kick being cayenne pepper.

Split pea soup on the way…

Good morning from my part of the world…

Excited about the new lock screen customization… I now have quick access to two of my favorite camera apps and the native one. Each can be set to a different purpose.

About those green tomatoes… wait long enough and they turn red… last of the summer tomatoes.

Made fish stock over the weekend… think i may be heading for a bouillabaisse in the near future…

Really enjoying this book. Full of recipes and stories. The recipes are interesting. Presented in narrative form, they are more a guide than a recipe. They give you guidance but you have to deploy your cooking spidy sense to make them. Some experience helps.

About two weeks ago I put a fresh pencil in my bag thinking this one would soon need replacement. It’s still waiting…

November hues.

Me and my shadow move through the landscape…

Fro this morning’s walk…

Today’s beach treasure.

It seems to me that the technology to draw circles must have been known from the very early days of wo/mankind…

Heavy sea…
