Yesterday was Canadian Thanksgiving. We went to Goebbert’s Pumpkin Farm, a tradition of ours for close to 15 years. It’s much the same each year. Run by the Goebbert family, it’s farmland full of pumpkins, gourds, cornstalks and Indian corn and if you must, on the second floor of the barn, sort-of Halloween stuff. (Click Goebbert’s link above for directions to farm.)
It was a ten or 15 degrees F above normal day and humid. Today was much the same only less humid. We are supposed to have a drastic downturn in the weather and probably according to the weather dude, not recover before next spring(!)
Sometimes it's good to put down the mouse and back away from the computer. I have in the past couple days while I a. waited about 12 hours for the Internet* to start working again, b. finally lost it over the inability of my Logitech MX 3200 mouse to function within any semblance of normal parameters and most enjoyably did Canadian Thanksgiving at Goebbert's Farm with my family.

*which was Comcast, until last night. Now it is my son's company, a local Schaumburg telecommunications service. I'm so happy to be able to buy local--and it's a family-run business. For sheer heart-warming goodness, the story of American immigrants making very good is one I love to hear/be a slight part of.
