Good morning or good evening wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 1:30 a.m. in :The City."

Next week, November 1, 2020, we return to Eastern Standard Time. Mary had a great suggestion when it comes to my Citizen's Eco Drive watch that is always a pain to reset. Her suggestion? DON'T! Since I have another watch that is easy to set, and since we won't be going anywhere for the foreseeable future., if I wait until next spring, it will be like that proverbial stopped clock, it will once again be accurate. 

We have a current temperature of 37° that feels like 33° with only a 4 mph wind. That's because the temperatures are now low enough overnight that the Wind Chill Factor is applicable. 

Today's high temperature will reach up to 50° before the overnight low of 38°. We have no alerts in effect at this time. The sun will rise later this morning @ 8:11 a.m. and set @ 6:45 p.m.

Good news, we didn't have to make a run to GR last night, as Ginger is much improved. We even canceled her appointment at her local doctor's off too. Whew!

College football yesterday was very interesting, to say the least. The Michigan State Spartans are now 0 - 1. They were so turnover prone in their game versus the 1 - 0 Scarlet Knights of Rutgers, that the final score could have been a lot worse than the final 27 - 38 would seem to indicate. 

However, the Little Brown Jug will remain in MI again this year, as the 1 - 0 Wolverines of MI, soundly defeated the 0 - 1 Golden Gophers of MN, 49 - 24. 

I spent some time in the kitchen yesterday making another green tomato pie. Like my last, it turned out delicious.

Mmmm Good!

Afterwards, we took the fur-children for a walkabout in the Lake Forest Cemetery and although we were not in the most photogenic area of the cemetery grounds, I managed to snap some pix of the flora and the clouds.

Puffy clouds in an azure blue sky.

Some clouds hid the sun in this shot. 

Looking into one of the many ravines in the cemetery.

Just a nice panoramic shot.

When we got home, I took some pix of the remnants of our basil plants. They produced well this year, but they had overstayed their season, as had the Black Eyed Susans in the other pot nearby. .

The end of a successful growing season. 

Since I had my camera along for the ride, I took some pix of the last rose of the season too, both outside and on our end table. I also took a shot of the wax begonias that I have been watering all summer..

Close.

And closer.

The wax begonias.

The last rose on our end table.

Today, we have no specific plans. The indoor chores are done. Our reading is progressing nicely. The fur-children are doing well, but another walkabout is not out of the question after the Lions game. Ciao.
