Happy Halloween!

Want to know what's hangin' around here?

Wonderful Guy and I are taking another long weekend, but this one is being spent close to home. (I know! It's a five day weekend for me!) It has to be close to home. I am trick or treating with the Grandbebe Girls tonight.

One has priorities.

So we went out to grab some brunch and saw these resulting of our recording setting October. It is record setting both in total amount of snow recieved in any October in 121 years, and also for the most snow in one snowfall, this last one, where we recieved on the west side of town, close to 18 inches.

See that greyish thing there in the middle?

Then, coming home, the snow had melted and fallen from the front tree revealing...something And we both said, "What the heck is that?' I took pictures. I thought it looked alarmingly like a hornets nest I once saw in a museum back in Kentucky, but I didn't think we had hornets way out west.

Research has revealed we probably don't. What we have here is probably one big yellow jackets nest. And it is big! What I have photographed is a ways up in the tree, partially broken down, but still I would guess 18" long?

Who knows. I am not good with dimensions. And there are still, as one can see, dead leaves on my tree, after our record setting snow falling October.

And now, thinking of Dearest Sister, driving her fun little Isetta in the parade WAY out west, I found this of us driving in her fun little Isetta around my neighborhood last year. I had some fun watching it again, and thought I would share it.

Tomorrow we announce the winners our individual contests (and other things!) so until then...

Boo!

And Blogtoberfest is a wrap!

Such a Hit...

...we were! Dearest Sister with Dung Beetle, the Isetta, and me with Betsy, the Flying Lendrum. Wonderful and Galaxie, the Guys were there, too, of course!

The car show was held at Heritage Square, which is a mini-amusement park, so there were many families that were there for other purposes. Theses micro cars are so cutey-wootie, they can't help but catch one's attention. Betsy and the baby alpaca got alot of attention, too, especially by young boys of the 4-7 age range, interestingly. They seem fascinated by the mechanism of how the contraption of a spinning wheel works.

There were many Princesses there as well. Apparently Snow White was making an appearance and several girls were dressed likewise to see her. Of course, young princesses are attentive to spinning wheels, too, if only to not prick their fingers on spindles, thusly being caused to fall asleep for a hundred years. Dangerous stuff, that.

Me? Not a worry so much. Not so much princess material here! Ask Dearest Sister....she will be sure to tell you all the facts!

P.S. One enters the Isetta from the front, and this Isetta was trailered to the car show. Top speed is about 35 mph. Not ready for interstate driving! And Elvis had one when he was in Germany in the service. He gave it to his manager.

Look at us...

We are having too much fun!

This is Dearest Sister and myself in her Isetta (aka the Dung Beetle). She and Galaxie Guy are here for the vintage micro car show in Golden Saturday. This evening, we took her Isetta around the neighborhood for a practice spin.

It brings a smile to everyone's face! Literally!! There's nothing for it but smiling when one sees this little guy come tooling around the corner.

Come see us tomorrow if you are in the neighborhood. Heritage Square in Golden!
