We are back to our original plan where we are waiting for a vaccine.

We go to Brussels many days.  We are keeping Brussels heated even though we’ve blown out the water lines.  We continue to clean out the garage, etc. and work on projects.  Justin wanted to get two boats to Hartung for winter projects.  He thinks he's figured out a way to be able to hear part of the garage so inside projects may be possible.   

I tried my hand at making cheater-bagels one morning.  They are really just a quick bread.  They were OK but I guess we'd rather just have biscuits.                                                                    

We've seen a couple of bald eagles at Hartung.  This one stayed for well over an hour one morning.  They are simply majestic!

There is ice in our vernal creek at Bayshore.  I won't say that it is frozen solid, but there's not much movement in there at all.   The fall has been really mild and sunsets have been spectacular many days.  

We continue to work our way through Netflix.  We recently watched My Octopus Teacher , a captivating documentary filmed over eight years.  Who knew an octopus lived only one year. And, more surprisingly who knew one could develop a personal relationship with an octopus.

One of the news feeds reported that Black Friday and cyber Monday sales had not been as hoped and that this was an indication of slowed economic recovery. Well, we did our part. We bought new pots and pans, a new carpet for the living room, a new comforter and flannel sheets, new headphones, a new electric toothbrush , a kitchen scale and so much more. Yes, we did our part. 

I can't wait until electoral college meets. I am still anxious.
