Nun gets sunny on yo' ass.

Had lunch alone, but had lunch alone at Vios containing onions & garlic, which would result in aggro if Nibs were here.

It occurred to me as I was driving on a sunny afternoon through the brilliant fall foliage¹ of the Snoqualmie valley² with Simian Mobile Disco³ playing, a happy boy⁴ in the back seat, and a giant white pumpkin⁵ in the wayback, that despite all the crap that's been going on lately, this was Really Not At All Bad.



¹That doesn't happen in Florida, where I grew up. Leaves don't start turning until November, and you don't get the color show that you do here.

²Our CSA, Moonshadow Farm, is in the Cascade Foothills on the far side of the valley. It's always a pretty drive. We've been so many times that I'm kind of done with it, but this time people brought good beer & eats. Also, see happy boy below.

³Bought new yet cheap at Sonic Boom thanks to Nibs and her habit of buying the Chinook Book. That's what I did with much of my sitter time. Why, oh why did I go so long without Attack Decay Sustain Release?

⁴Climbing around wood piles, picking up snakes, communing with chickens & dogs, observing Douglas squirrels (They live in the firs), and picking the pumpkin below.

⁵Every year the CSA has a pumpkin harvest wherein member families draw lottery numbers. Ours was low enough, to my surprise, that m'boy snagged the Great Ghost Punkin: white, about 27" from stem to bottom, and flat on one side. He was so worried we'd be late for the pumpkin picking, but that was last on the agenda.

It sounds Rather. Good. in fact. ;)
