Mimi set up shop in the basement, with needle and thread, and eventually emerged with these—two Elsa's and an Anna. (Becca is trick-or-treating as a boulder, and Will and his dad are matching Supermen.) Let's hope October 31st is warmish, or these girls will be Frozen. (Abby, of course, will be a chicken, perhaps a Super Chicken. Bri and Renee are keeping their costume designs close to the vest, but when the secret leaks out it will be posted here.)

Will and I took off for a few hours on an adventure this fore noon, and it is fun to see how two of us can have a running conversation for hours at a time. He can be talkative.

At one place on our ramble the strong south wind was causing a blizzard of maple leaves, which we tried to catch. One hit me in the face and stuck to my glasses,. Will thought that was pretty funny.
