On the road again...

We will be out of town for the next couple of days. A post-peak, post-crowd jaunt to leaf county. Actually, we are going to do some driving and hiking and photographing along the Cherokee Foothills Highway in the upstate.

I'm having my usual day-of-leaving guilt attack that I don't want to leave my kittens. But their Uncle Mark is coming to take care of them, so they won't starve.

But I'll miss them.

Halloween was semi-quiet around here. We seem to be hit and miss with the trick-or-treaters. Last year, we had quite a lot, this year, some, but not quite as many. We managed to rid ourselves of most of the chocolate temptations.


Ezmerelda and Melvin prepare to greet visitors.
