It warmed up a bit after the snow and we were able to finish getting ready for winter. The leaves are raked. The barbecue, smoker, garden ornaments and lawn furniture are packed away in the shed. The Miata and Rob's TR6 are snuggled together in the garage for the winter. I've even gone as far as pulling the winter boots and coats out of storage.

After fourteen years of being "coat free", Zaph is now the owner of a bright red raincoat. It's been raining a lot this fall and Zaph's mom and dad think life will be easier if Zaph returns home from a walk in the rain a little dryer than a drowned rat. It's taken a few days, but Zaph appears to be adjusting to the coat and doesn't mind wearing it --- I think that means enough people have complemented him on his coat.

Today is "pottery setup day". This means Ed and I drive down to Kitchener to Jack and Lori's house to help Lori organize her pottery for the Frederick Street Art Walk. Ed actually went on tour for the first couple of hours visiting all of his favourite stores --- Princess Auto, Henry's Cameras, TSC, etc. When he returned he was drafted into grinding, moving tables, setting up lights, etc. He's actually quite good at arranging the pottery into an esthetically pleasing display.

We forgot to bring a camera with us, so here's a picture of some of Lori's pots that Jack posted on Facebook.
