What wonderful fall photos! And the kitty makes me want to curl up with a good book :)

PS I still don't 'get' any of your audio/videos! Ugh!

Oh Nancy..what a pity about the videos..try talking directly to your provider. If you have only dial up, it might always be impossible. But I just added in the complete text and pictures from Mark Twain's "Eve's Diary"...so have another look and I'm pretty sure the link will work for you to access that at the Guttenberg Project site.

ah yes, October. I remember October--the month when it is supposed to be cooling down and when it sometimes rains. I'm hoping this October will be like those in the past.
