Nicole, your two pendants with stones look so much like an heirloom pendant I have. It was given to my grandmother when she was 16 by a boyfriend at the time (not my grandfather), so it over 100 years old. It’s an emerald with a tinynfresh water seed pearl. It will have to be my ’J’ for jewelry today because I haven’t come up with anything else.

chloebud, your pumpkin reminds me of a witch's nose. :)

hobbitmom, I know! Luckily, like coyotes, the bobcats are timid. A few handclaps shoos them off. However, we also have bears and mountain lions. None of them so far at our house (at least that we know of!), but lots of neighbors have had visits.🥴

seagrass, I am so sorry for your loss. The new girl is beautiful and I hope it works out for you. Seems like a good situation for you. So this happened across the street last night. I had my windows open and didn't even hear anything. I had to laugh. I didn't even know kids did that anymore. My neighbor has a daughter in middle school so I think that is what it's about. I pictured the kids hearing from someone's grandpa that "Back in my day, we TP'd people's houses." My neighbor is a good guy and I know he will think this is pretty funny.
