Looks like November.

Last night's haunted moon. It set just before midnight, turned onto its back, a huge orange half-pumpkin rocking gently to its rest behind the western peaks. Today looks like November, and mostly feels like it: thin clouds webbing the skies, heralding a change in the weather, a brisk wind punctuated by leaf-stripping gusts that belie the unseasonal warmth we have today.

We're supposed to have snow by week's end. We'll see.

I am out of time. The first month of our busiest season, the holiday season, is already gone. I will be doing nothing but pushing sales for at least the next six weeks, and I need to make this happen sooner rather than later, because the tax burden won't wait, and there's too much else that needs doing, even as my illness leaves me with less function by the day now.  Which means I need help to get everything covered.

All the links are here; please, share them, too (and there's a new wishlist priority, the automatic composter, which will do wonders for saving on waste and allow Wings to compost the land and trees regularly even through the winter; my physical function is impaired enough now that things can only get done if I have the help of equipment like this):

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priorities are, first and foremost, the automatic composter and the wheelbarrow, then the other ladder);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, Nah, we've given up on the well. No one's available to drill before late next year at the earliest, and this year's tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's even more of a good time to make a purchase, because Uncle Sam is a vindictive colonizer, and my current stress levels about paying it all are off the charts. And there's lots of fabulous work, so please share all of the links.
