A Boston Terrier has a very good grip on her tug of war rope. Caption is: You have an elf on a shelf… I have a dope on a rope!

I made two dozen rolls yesterday. This is what was left for supper. They got gone.
6 Parker House-style rolls in a metal bowl (serving oven).

One upside of the leaves going away: we can get decent sunset shots from the deck.
Sunset through the woods. There’s a splash of orange in the middle, between the two nearest/largest trees. Lighter orange splashes to either side, turning white then pink at the top of the shot.

November 16, 2025: It’s 70°F (21°C) in north GA, so Charlie and I drove home with the top down.

Snowing on Planet Georgia.
Facing an outside light out front, it highlights the snow pretty well.

The final harvest is underway. Lots of greenies for salsa.
Closeup of a yellow pear tomato plant, with clusters of (relatively) big green fruits. Local hourly forecast, showing 29° temperatures from 6am through 9am.

November harvest. Doesn’t look like we’ll get frost in the next 10 days, either. More in alt.
Foreground: about a dozen tomatillos. They look rough, but they’re firm under the ratty calyx. Background: assorted tomatoes (yellow pear, yellow perfection, and Roma). There’s a few green ones that dropped off the vine. The yellow perfection tomatoes ran small this year, but are still good. The yellow pears ran large, as if to make up for it, but many of them split before they ripen. Several lacinato kale plants, about knee high. If we don’t get a polar vortex wobble this way, they’ll winter over no problem. The containers at the top of the frame have last year’s kale plants, still producing if a bit slowly.

After squabbling (and a little scuffling) with Mason in the car yesterday, Charlie drew him and Mason on his whiteboard.
Two unhappy stick figures, representing Charlie and Mason. Mason (on the right) has bigger hair, his “soccer do.” Between them is a rectangle with a circle inside, representing the fold-down arm rest/cupholders in the back seat.

Libby has no concept of dignity. (Or much else.) #DogsOfBluesky
Charlie, a husky 9yo boy, is cradling a small thin Boston Terrible on her back. The dog has a comfortable expression and is not trying to get away. All four legs are sticking straight up.

I call this one, “Mom just came home.”
A little blonde girl and a skinny Boston Terrier stand at a window. Both are looking intently out the window, backs to the camera. The dog has her front paws on the window sill; the girl gently has her left hand on the dog’s neck and her right on the window pane, and is slightly up on her toes.

We had a good sunset in rural Georgia 🇺🇸 yesterday too!
Sunset over trees. Bands of clouds run horizontally, shading from orange (bottom) to pink (top). In the foreground, a tree with kudzu hanging off it pokes in from the upper right. A two-lane road curves left at bottom left and disappears over a downhill.

Freaky-nice August weather.

I’m sure those skylights are supposed to represent leaves, but I see a canoe turned upside down and two paddleboards.
The lobby of Northside Forsyth Women’s Center has a flat, sloped roof with three ribbed, oval (but pointed on both ends) skylights radiating from a point above the main entrance. The center skylight is raised in the middle, while the ones on either side are flat.

Half a lifetime ago, Daughter Dearest figured out how to feed three hungry boys:

And here they are on the other end.

At least it was something actually edible. This little idiot swallowed a piece of corncob that cost $3200 to remove.
