Look at that sky! As we say in Holland: 'daar komt een schip met zure appels aan' or 'there's a ship with sour apples incoming'.

Well, another rainy week has past. 
So far we've had 3.03" in this first week of November, which is almost as much as we had over the whole month last year, when we ended up with 3.70", and this last October totaled 3.95" versus 1.60" last year!


   
 
I discover more mushrooms every day .. it's funny how I sometime walk the same path twice, back and forth, and still almost miss them.
Of course there's a thick layer of leaves they have to pop through, which makes them almost invisible until they do, and their colors blend in very well with the leaves as well ..


       
I like these dainty ones the best!


More and more leaves are coming down, even the oaks are starting to look barren ..

      


But look who's still here?


We haven't seen much of him/her all summer but he's been hanging around all week now. I think there's actually two of them because every now and than this one is chasing 'something' ... they're so fast when they're in attack-mode, they're just a blur!

The new barn our landlord is building, in between rain-showers, is really taken shape now ... quite literary:
 
 


The last two days have been sunny and dry, which might be the reason for these dandelions to decide to all of sudden flower again ...  that, and all the rain before that of course: 


One last hurrah I guess!

I'm working on this Halloween puzzle .. of course Halloween has already come and gone but, in my defense, this is not the easiest puzzle ... I shall persevere though!




This week's culinary masterpieces (ahem) were:



Banana chocolate chips muffins and Cabbage soup (enough for an army) :

                                                        an instant pot filled with broth, carrots, ground beef, tomatoes, onions, and cabbage.

The muffins were delicious and the soup very good as well ... only disadvantage with cooking cabbage is that the strong, sulfur-y, gassy smell lingers forever, especially in an RV .. bleh ..

Well, I think that was all there was this week .. I've been trying to get a shot of one of the nice sunsets we have lately but every time I think of it I've been busy and totally forgot to look ... 
I got this one tonight. Not too bad but not as good as some have been ... maybe next week!
