Ode to October

58 twirls around the sun.  Orchard picnic with his fave pasta salad and Chocolate PB cupcakes. The cub made Honor Roll again and NHS! Ice cream on Sundays. A mayor dressed like a cowboy.  A wee little Ginseng.  Other misc things that induce joy... like sunsets, a text from my cousin and llamas in Times Square.

Loved ones in the orchard on my birthday.

 

Gifts from the cub and cake from my SIL that he hid.

 

Tool box garden from dear friend, Kathi.

Card from C.

I told the police officer that an actor dressed
like a cowboy told me I could park here. 
She said, "Oh, that's the mayor".
