Yesterday's NaBloPoMo prompt was... "If you were President, what would your first act in office be?"

My answer: Take the day off! Both candidates (and their families) must be absolutely exhausted .... I know I was, by the time the networks signed off last night -- tired, and extremely relieved at the result, I might add. And that's as political as you'll ever hear me here....

I did manage to finish both baby blankets ....

... and get started on a hat for someone for Christmas...

It's a lovely color, and lovely fibre ... merino and angora.

The sun came out today for the first time in days, and Michael and I had a yard full of leaves to rake.This is the heritage cabin on the property we were hired to clean up ... it's now a storage shed. To the left you can see the path into the back yard:

We spent almost two hours together there, and this is the result:

That pile is about 4' deep and 30' wide.... and all those leaves used to be ankle deep here...

 ... and here...

It was a lovely afternoon ... and I bet I'll be sore tomorrow.  :-)
