Giving thanks for home I went away for a while, and then I wasn't home for a while, and then when I got back it was earlier than I thought. I had prepped for the upcoming season and hadn't thought about having a current season.
Running with The Gingerbread Man Deep in the woods, constantly scanning the terrain, ROB PEREZ runs a trail - over dirt, rocks, leaves, puddles, and roots. After a moment, THE GINGERBREAD MAN, brown, about six inches tall, with raisins for eyes, a cherry nose, and icing for a mouth, effortlessly runs alongside Rob, silent, unnoticed.
The beaver were quite active of course. They often walked through the house taking kindling from the fireplace and wedging it between table and chair legs. Other times they would drag her oriental rugs across the floor towards their indoor pool. When she stepped on the rugs, they would drop them, wriggle excitedly, and make 'chuckling' noises, which she interpreted as having a sense of humor. One night, she woke up with a beaver on her chest. It then ran under the bed and began pushing the mattress up and down so rapidly with its feet that she was unable to sleep the rest of the night.

As I write, sunbeams stream through my window and I revel in our snow-free yard, a mid-November rarity. We’ve had a balmy few days, and my husband Jerry has both biked and kayaked this week. I’m a little jealous. My activities have been limited to long walks and running around the thrift store. We still have our dock out, a favor for a few friends who’ve stationed their fishing boat on it for easy access to their whitefish nets, which have to be checked every twenty-four hours. We might make it another week before the ice sets in. Hopefully. It would be a challenge to pull our dock out after the ice sets in, which I remember happening quickly the past few years.
