Trees, Squirrels, and Halloween

Don't you love fall? We've already had a heavy snow fall which knocked a tree branch onto our house, gone to a Halloween party dressed as a cup of coffee, and had a squirrel make off with some Halloween candy!

The branch had fallen from about 20 feet up, and managed to wedge itself between the main trunk and the supporting branch in the photo, plus resting on the house and blocking the driveway.

You can see how the branch has wedged itself in to the tree.

We had a costume party to go to on Saturday night, and I couldn"t think of what to go as. As a joke, I said I should go as a cup of coffee...

I created a large printout of the logo and traced it onto the felt costume Lisa assembled for me that we devised over breakfast.

A squirrel with a Dove chocolate that he stole from our mail!
A few days ago, we received a package in the mail from my parents with Halloween candy in it. The mailman put it near some pumpkins we"ve set out front for the squirrels to eat, and the squirrels must"ve gotten a little excited and went after the package too. It appeared that they had merely chewed through the envelope and not gotten anything out, but it seems they managed to liberate one of the Dove chocolates that was in there.
