From Gary

Hi folks. It’s that time of year to clean up the garden and prepare for the inevitable winter. A few tomatoes are slowly ripening and we’re still getting the odd strawberry and raspberry. The odd eggplant and some broccoli still. Peppers are doing good. Hopefully we can protect them from frost for awhile yet. We eat the pepper leaves instead of buying lettuce and spinach while we can. The only root crop is carrots and they are doing great. That’s it for this week. Take care and stay safe everyone.

From Carol

I really enjoyed reading last week’s newsletter but was too sick to respond. It was just my usual regular morning issue of not keeping anything down but instead of just a bad morning it went on for days being sick hourly. I am back to normal now but we canceled Thanksgiving dinner. Vivienne was also sick with a bad cold but worse, Duncan’s fiancée’s mother and sisters were in a bad car accident so Duncan and Nella were up at the hospital with them. Everyone is in some stage of recovery. We are still grateful, the accident could have been even worse, I could have ended up in emergency, if Al had his way. Viv may have been sick but she seems to be in better control of her Type 1 diabetes.

I am still picking fresh tomatoes, Beth’s garden has done well this year, including pumpkins. The weather is turning colder but we can afford to pay for heat. I have a supportive, loving family. Doug continues doing the Squid. We may have canceled the turkey feast but not the reason behind the day, we all have something we can be grateful for.

From Doug

I don’t have much to talk about this week. Actually, I don’t have anything I can talk about. I’m often on an emotional roller coaster rendering creativity inoperative. I do however have another recording for you.

Here’s another of the songs we have recently recorded. It’s a Bob Dylon song. Hope you like it.

Knocking On Heaven’s Door
