An autumn memory My dog Ike stands in silhouette as the sun rises. I miss him every day. One of my favorite photos from 9 years ago today. Taken with my iphone, no filters applied.
Sun rise over pasture glows in the light of low fog.  A Border Collie dog stands in the middle.

What Else by Carolyn Locke
"What Else"
The way the trees empty themselves of leaves,
let drop their ponderous fruit,
the way the turtle abandons the sun-warmed log,
the way even the late-blooming aster succumbs to the power of frost—
this is not a new story.
Still, on this morning, the hollowness of the season startles, filling
the rooms of your house, filling the world with impossible light, improbable hope.
And so, what else can you do but let yourself be broken and emptied? What else is there but waiting in the autumn sun?
~ Carolyn Locke

It does not have the "side leaves like mittens" clue. So there is a chance it is not. I personally would treat it as if it were poison ivy.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.
A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

A steady rain on our morning walk. Most of the color changing leaves are hanging on in spite of the high winds and rain. Be like Grace and my other Border Collies - enjoy every day. For me that means remembering this even on Monday, when it is harder to get rolling.
Grey clouds and rain over green pasture viewed through frame of tree branches.  Leaves are starting to change from green to gold and brown.  Border Collie dog runs toward the photographer.  Sheep graze in the distance.

On my morning walk the dogs and I saw a few trees down from the Nor'easter winds. One has fallen across the trail in the woods. We walked during a bit of a lull in the weather, more rain and wind predicted for today and tomorrow.

Bumper sticker with a more light-hearted voting reminder for today. U.S. friends, register/validate registration to be ready to vote Nov 3rd. Smithsonian record does not date this item, but I suspect it was from 1970's when there was a compulsion to advertise various things that made better lovers.
