Out There {November 2023}

I'm back on the blog. It's been a minute. Have I said that before? Ha! Well, we're going back in time to November. What did we do outside in November? I have no idea! Haha! Let's find out together!

11.1.23
(we found a nest in a tree on our hike by the lake)

11.1.23
(this is just one of many, many, many 
(an embarrassing number! but I'll only
post this one) pictures of scat
I took on our hike by the lake. I wanted to see
if I could figure out what kind of scat it was
and I think it is racoon!)

11.1.23
(cute kids and fallen leaves)

11.1.23
(this was just a cute stack of leaves I found
on the side of the trail)

11.1.23
(the puddle in the parking lot had a thin layer of ice on
the top of it and the kids loved throwing rocks on it)

11.2.23
(I spy an owl up in our tree!)

11.2.23
(and now I spy that owl on the power pole!)

11.4.23
(unseasonably warm weather got us out on the lake on a sunny-ish
Saturday in early November!)

11.4.23
(and the kids had fun in the "hollow tree")

11.4.23
(the algae was pretty freaky looking)

11.8.23
(as I was walking around Huntsville while the
kids were at some library thing
I found a new spot near the lake with tons
of trees and branches and places to play, so we came
back there after the library thing was done and the kids
had a great time!)

11.9.23

(I just loved this frosty leaf with the sun!)

11.9.23
(I loved walking with Cal to choir in the mornings (her, not
so much). I loved it so much I'd just keep walking during
her time at the school and then walk her back home when
she was done - it was so nice to get a walk in early on Tuesdays
and Thursdays!)

11.9.23
(check out this frosty bark!)

11.22.23
(this feels too much like last year with shoveling
snow off the roof - only this time it's frozen leaves!)

11.24.23
(I wandered through the cemetery on my walk and just had to
chuckle at the naming scheme in this family)

11.28.23

in Huntsville that I love to visit on library
days. Womp, womp!)

just a little stripe around the bottom)

(I didn't walk down Stringtown this morning - 
instead I walked to Saturn!)
