Found

If you have pierced earrings, you're probably familiar with this joy.  An earring, lost for several days, found!

I usually put a little silicone backing on my earrings but once in a while I get in a hurry and don't.  And then occasionally I'm reminded why I do.  You can buy a whole bag of a few hundred backings for a very nominal price.

My Halloween candy is ready.  Two big bags.  Because maybe this will be the year!  I know better, though, plus the night is supposed to be rainy and cold.

In a minute, I'm off to sweep the oak leaves off my sidewalk, to be repeated again and again in the coming weeks.  My neighbor's oak tree is old and huge but the acorns are very small.  The leaves are plentiful, or so it seems.
