Our neighbor, Adam, is building a micro-house. Adam built it on an old trailer, so the micro-house is mobile. Adam has collected unused materials and is constructing it very affordably.

Last year, a local Town here in upstate New York started sponsoring a 5K Turkey Trot. It was held the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Needless to say, the turnout for the run was great.

Out on the job, I rode my bike. Had to stop and take a picture of the fall leaves. The colors captures the eye, the heart, and the spirit. From 21st Century Science and Health, “Instinct is better than misguided reason, even as nature declares. The violet lifts her blue eye to greet the early…
