Ben by Daniel Shelton for November 09, 2024

At least there its not raining!

It hasn’t rained here in over a month. We could use some.

Try a case of bourbon.

Now that’s just SAD.

My dad was diagnosed with that. I try to see the good things about change in seasons, but it’s not always easy.

It’s stick season!

Or a little of all three! And the wind. Don’t get me started on that. It has been breezing here everyday since Nov started. I hate it going down my neck!!!

I live near Raleigh and have a wooded lot with lots of maples, oaks, pines, and popular trees. It has been raining leaves and pine needles for over a month with no stop in sight. Usually around Thanksgiving it stops. But daily leaf blowing off the decks and driveway.

I hate to rub it in [yeah right], but it’s sunny and clear here and expected to be in the low 70s.

I see Max isn’t with them on there walk, guess Ben had to get away for a while.

That happens when the images have been brushed off the canvas before the new coat.

Arizona winters: Warm; kinda warm; cool; it’s 60 F and I’m gonna die.

The brrrrrrrrr months (Octobrrrrrrr, Novembrrrrrr and Decembrrrrrrr) became a lot more bearable for me after I moved to Arizona.
