Geese, and windows, and pies, and... :-)

Kitchen Lights...

We went out for an early dinner on Sun.  We were finished and came out of The Old Bryan Inne about 5pm, and it was perfect timing!  Waves and waves of Geese were flying over head...  Honking away.  It was magical...  They were flying in the *wrong* direction, so they were probably in a landing pattern, for the lake.  :-)  They certainly had to be putting down somewhere, since it was nearly dark.

I was soooooooooooooooo thrilled to have seen/heard them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A photo of "one-of-those-things-I-noticed"...  And luckily, no one was behind our car, so he could pull over, till I took a pic.

Way up at the top of the red brick building...  See those 2 little openings of some sort?  Narrow and with rounded tops?  What Are They???  ~~~~~~~~  Also note, there used to be a 3rd little opening, between the 2 which show.  It was bricked in...

"Uncle A." thought they were a way of letting excess water flow off the roof.  But I don't think so.  Perhaps they were once used as real windows...  Though very, very small.  Think servants lived at the top of old houses.  In not very nice accomodations.  So tiny windows might have been considered enough, for them.  -sigh-

Do you Dear Reader, have any ideas, what they were for, when the building was built....?

Look at that barometer!  Nearly to 'Very Dry.'  Wow, I hate to think of how it will feel, when it starts to drop.  Changes in Barometric Pressure cause aches/and/pains in my ("olden")  joints.

Moon, taken through den window, which looks  a bit dirty.  The window, I mean.  Not the moon.

Frost, on a roof...

Thank you for your suggestions, on freezing/baking a pie.  I had thought of doing this, well before Thanksgiving.  I have to make an Apple Pie and a Pumpkin Pie and thought it would be good to get most of the work done, before.   ~~~~~~~~~~~  But now, I think I'll simply make them both on Wed.  In the daytime.  Because early evening is devoted to "Pop" and next door Son and "Grands" making the Stuffing for the Thanksgiving dinner turkey.   He/"Pop"/"Uncle A." has always fully cooked the Stuffing, and then refrigerated over night, and stuffed the bird, Thanksgiving morning.

Btw, I could not, not, not use store bought crust, or buy my pies...  There would be Family Mutiny!  -grin-
