I've mowed for the last time and put the sprinkler system to beddy-bye for the winter. The irises are planted and today I'll drain the hoses.

It's currently 34.9F outside.

There are various Veteran's Day activities today, including a free dinner at the Golden Corral restaurant, but I think I'll pass on them and toast my absent friends this evening with some Irish Redbreast.

Right now I think I'll clean ma gun and dream of Galveston....
