My simple pleasures: Family time at the pumpkin patch; less pain; hot tea

Looking around the house: Apparently our patio furniture will just be staying int he living room for this winter Extra seating I guess.

From the camera: Beautiful sunset at the pumpkin patch and a view of one of the old barns.
