Thank you all for the well wishes concerning my back issues. Thanks to an excellent chiropractor, I'm feeling a lot better today. I've been having some problems for a couple weeks now, but Sunday everything just went to heck in a handbasket and I could barely move for about a day and a half. Now I'm back walking again and functioning pretty well. Actually, I feel best when up on my feet and moving around. When I sit for any length of time, the muscles seem to tighten up again. But there seems to be some steady improvement. Buddy is keeping me on my feet!

It's fun to walk at night and see the Christmas lights go up around the neighborhood. But it's even more enjoyable in the daytime to walk and see the snow on the mountains. There are some very nice views around certain corners where the mountains just seem to leap out at you.

There is still a lot of green around the neighborhood as well. In a lot of places in Arizona, new houses go up after all the existing trees are bulldozed and very few replacement trees are planted. I'm glad that we are in an area with a lot of established trees. We have planted some of our own in addition to what was already here when we bought the house, and things are looking pretty good.

Of course the front porch is still decorated in fall colors and still pleases my eyes every time I come home.

One of these days this pumpkin will finally get cut up and the seeds roasted. The autumn's last hurrah.
