Indoor Tent

The Mayor and Hobbit Wife worked together to create an indoor tent for Sukkot, and Ela helped with the decorating.
We enjoyed having people over to celebrate with us.
Ela wanted a picture to capture the phrase "Now is the Winter of Our Disco-Tent"
A bonus picture of a monstrosity the Mayor discovered downstairs.

Things Spotted

Here is a picture from 30 years ago showing Uncle Matty and Uncle Andrew with Super Soaker squirt guns.
What better way to celebrate a warm October day than a squirt gun fight, featuring re-released versions of the Super Soakers.
Boookie sipping an Americano at a cafe.
Seimi and Eejee warming up for the Feast of Trumpets
The Feast of Trumpets was a low-key affair for us this year, coming at the end of a busy day of homeschool, but we pulled out Chrismas Corn Chowder and the Hobbit Wife made challah, served with honey and fresh rosemary from Grampz's farm.
Spotted in the driveway doing some fall cleaning.
Spotted downstairs was this LEGO creation.
Spotted in the backyard was a family of raccoons.
Spotted, but not captured in the photo, was a coyote. A pack recently moved into the park downhill from our house and they make themselves known every evening. We are a sometimes noisy pack ourselves and sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish between raucus Eejee and Seimi laughter downstairs and coyotes down in the park.
