Happy October!

 

Blurred photo of a memory of Muffin drinking my water in my mug.

Wishes for good luck and fortune this month to all! Rabbit Rabbit!

Charlie Tefft made a gorgeous bunny butter dish. I just borrowed the photo from his site. I do however own a Tefft mug with a hare on it!

Driving around in Durango, I sometimes can slow down and get a shot of an interesting house. I wish I could read the blackboard on the porch!

Funny little fluff of a cloud over the valley...then

A front came through...so we had clouds for a while, but no rain materialized until more serious clouds Mon and Tues from Hurricane Polo over 600 miles away.

Downtown Durango

Doctor visit, his office is in the hospital building, which is in a newer area of town called Three Springs.

A loaf with 1/3 whole wheat flour. Nice nutty flavor.

There's a schizoid quality to our relationship with animals, in which sentiment and brutality exist side by side. Half the dogs in America will receive Christmas presents this year, yet few of us pause to consider the miserable life of the pig -- an animal easily as intelligent as a dog -- that becomes the Christmas ham. 

-Michael Pollan, professor and writer (b. 6 Feb 1955)

Michael Pollan missed the turkey extravaganza as well, where there are usually one or two turkeys pardoned from the hatchet by the president of the US yearly.
