The thin spaces are at their closest tonight. Tomorrow is Samhain and the Celtic cycle commences. We had 2 groups of trick-or-treaters for 4 children in total. They each scored huge handfuls of candy.
Meanwhile, the shutdown continues, although a judge ruled that TCF has to release emergency SNAP funds. We'll see what happens. Health insurance premiums skyrocket and perhaps Head Start will have to close down. Must ask Ty about that.
Work at Sandia continues at my usual low level of effort. Labels are going out into the Lebanese Garden. Yesterday's early Halloween party saw us dressed up as a warlock with his familiar.
Fall has been gentle this year. The garden is glorious and all the tender plants have moved to shelter. Last night's freeze nipped the tops of Jane's basil, but I got enough mint today for a good batch of almond-mint-olive-feta pesto for Moreish Aubergines.
The gold finches have been noshing their way through buckets of niger seed. The other finches have been enjoying cracked sunflower kernels.
