Week 45

Hello and welcome back!  The Tuesday after a holiday Monday always throws me off a bit.  Last week was a roller coaster of emotions that had a lot of us feeling unsure about the future of this country, but we've been here before and can hopefully power through it again.  Otherwise, it was also very windy and much colder.  That is to be expected though as we inch closer to winter.  Time to bundle up and enjoy the cooler weather.

Here's a look at last week's pictures:

Day 309- Monday, 11/4/24

It was a good start to the week that ended with a pretty fall sky.  Bailey is enjoying the cooler temps out on our walks and as always is ready to play even after being tired from good long walk.

Day 310- Tuesday, 11/5/24

This was a strange day.  I pretty much kept myself away from the excessive election coverage that just seemed to make everyone anxious and was happy we had  puppy class tonight as a distraction. Unfortunately as we tried to leave for class in Woodland all routes getting out of West Sacramento were clogged due others trying to find alternate ways to head west because a turned over truck on the main highway shut it down.  After 20 min of trying to leave just my own city I gave up because my ETA was still saying I had over another hr to go and that would be too late.  As for the election it was not called until overnight but after checking the polls just before bed I had a sinking feeling it was headed in the wrong direction. How? Why? Ugh!!  I'm not ready for round two of this circus.

Day 311- Wednesday, 11/6/24

The mood was pretty depressing at work today and mostly everyone was just numb and in disbelief.  It was a good day for some comfort food and we are happy it's soup and sandwich weather again.  At least that warms the soul.  Later on our walk I noticed the red leaves are dominating now and they have such a nice rich color that's almost shocking but also beautiful to see in our surroundings.

Day 312- Thursday, 11/7/24

John took the boys out to sushi today which is something they haven't done in awhile so I'm glad they made it happen and got to spend some time together.  Can't wait to have Brandon back at the end of the month for Thanksgiving week.  Out on our dog walk once again the fall sky and foliage are on point and pretty amazing.  I also love all the different shapes of leaves on our neighborhood trees that seem to be most noticeable in the fall.

Day 313- Friday, 11/8/24

TGIF!  It was a cold and gusty day that made it perfect for napping and the pets were all about that.  Justin did take his car to work this morning but because of the afternoon winds the tree he parked near lost a lot of leaves in a very short amount of time making it look like his car hasn't moved in days. That leaf collection is impressive.

Day 314- Saturday, 11/9/24

Justin and I went out running errands today and decided it was best to pick up our traditional chocolate turkeys now before they are all gone.  One year we were almost too late and had to seriously hunt near and far at the last minute to find any.  Tonight for dinner we made orange chicken and pot stickers--another great warm meal to enjoy on a cold fall day.

Day 315- Sunday, 11/10/24

Today was a chore day so we could get them done and enjoy the time off on the holiday tomorrow.  In between chores we had these cute distractions to play with.  See Justin's face peeking out behind Rusty.  I think he was being used as a human heater.  Later we watched the premiere of the new Yellowstone final season.  Everyone has been waiting so long for this to finally drop.

That wraps up another full week.  Catch you in the next one.
