Santa sighting

No clue what we did yesterday - oh, yeah, errands.  Shipping packages, grocery store, etc.

Today?  Well, since I broke the toilet (don't ask, I have a shelf of milk glass vases over the window next to the toilet, I took a vase down, and it promptly fell  out of my hand and cracked the toilet), we bought a replacement and it was installed today.  Yeah, we went with the higher seat (old people!), and it was installed without drama.
Then M was nice enough to take my washer apart yet again, since I have a tendency not to check the pockets for coins, a nickel got caught in the pump, and clogged up the works.  Thank goodness it's an easy enough fix and doesn't require a service call (note to self, keep checking the pockets!)

We did manage to go for a walk.  Close by, and it was great, and we are out of shape, and promised ourselves we'd be better  about it in the future.

 M walking toward a bat cave.

It's an old mine entrance, boarded up, but with openings

for bats to go in and out.  There also is a platform,

 where one can watch the bats.

Not at the moment, I think they hibernate.

 Bittersweet, one colorful point in the mostly grey woods.

another spot of color.

And then we ran into Santa!

Really, check it out:

 He wanted to know if we knew any naughty little people!

Of course we told him that everyone we knew was nice.

We don't know anyone naughty!
