Go, Red Sox!

They have won the World Series.  In their cute "away" uniforms.

I'm recovering from late nights watching the World Series. A very exciting one, too - the last game a nail-biter to the final moment, with a rain delay taking place right before the tenth inning. I'm very happy for the Chicago Cubs; one hundred and eight years is long enough to go in between winning the World Series!

Yesterday I was actually outdoors in bare feet; I was pulling the weeds and dead tomato plants from the ground. It was a little cool, but I didn't mind. It was too beautiful all around for me to be minding anything. A bit of sprinkling in mid-day, and then sunlight and leaves whirling late afternoon. November! It seems a nicer month than when I was younger. I had to bring Dolly out before supper, just for a little while. This season can seemed enchanted sometimes.

I was watering the plants at the library today, and dead leaves outside caught my eye.

But it was two weeks ago when we saw a fabulous rainbow, and it was the whole thing, too. At home they always appear in the back yard and I have to run to and fro to glimpse parts of them between the trees. This rainbow stood outside the old entrance to the library, and it was all we could do to not look for the pots of gold at either end. It was vivid, and double. 

I was intent on getting it all in, so it's distorted, and the colors are going by this time - but it was great!
