Despite heavy rains this morning, the sun broke through, the temperatures rose, and it turned out to be a nice autumn day. I checked the thermometer midday, and it was 61 degrees!

Out front, the trees are almost bare and the leaves are ready to be raked up for compost.

As I cleaned around the kitchen, I scrubbed the kitchen windows and brought out the tripod to see what birds I could catch at the feeders, One more week till Feederwatch!


After a few brief errands, we were settled back in at home, and George started putting together a homemade pizza. We bought the toppings a week ago, and had just never gotten around to making a dough. It occurred to us that the breadmaker might have a setting that would work, and it did. It made a delicious hearty crust, and with all those toppings, a delicious meal!
