Practical Magic playing on the big screen in the backyard and Brian's homemade caramel popcorn make for a perfect first Friday night in autumn.

Found this beautiful beast yesterday as I was doing some yard work. It's helping us keep the pests away. I'm guessing it was about 3" from rear to front legs. Just stay outside, buddy!

A new friend greeted me as I entered the house today.

The rainy day brought some critter friends to our window and one deer to our apple tree. I love living here. I also love sitting in Brian's recliner next to this window for hours at a time. 😂

Still Airbnb Superhosts! Since September 2017, we've hosted international travelers, runners and cyclists in our area for races, local people who needed a quick getaway, business people, equestrians, and, most recently, a horse braider who braids manes and tails for show horses. I love that LMH is a place we can share with so many of the interesting people who live in this world.

You wouldn't know it to look at her, but Ez loves being outside during the day (and sometimes at night). She knows time in the great outdoors does a body and spirit good. But someone needs to tell her face.

Tonight's Creature Feature is our newest furry family member showing off her skills at fetch. In one week, she went from staring blankly at the ball to frantically running to it and touching it with her nose to this. Super Nova!

While K was doing some yard work, she came across our first turtle sighting. We believe this is a common box turtle, which I recently learned is the state reptile of North Carolina. Welcome to Laughing Moon Hollow, little guy!

Today's Creature Feature is a game. Can you spot the stick insect? I couldn't until a twig from my brush pile started walking away.

Today's Creature Feature is the Velvet Ant, an insect I'd never seen before today. Velvet ants are also called Cow Killer Ants because their sting is said to be powerful enough to kill a cow. This odd creature here is actually from a species of wasps. The females are wingless, and both males and females are covered in fine hairs which give them a fuzzy appearance. Oh, and they're a bit terrifying in person.

Ummm, guys. I may have let this bed get out of hand. The weeding project continues with this beast.

Today's wildlife sighting: three deer having dinner in the yard.

From watching a spider eat breakfast to ending the day with a family walk to the creek, today was a perfect day to enjoy the beauty of Laughing Moon Hollow.

Combining business and pleasure on the deck tonight.

Sometimes you learn the hard way to bungee cord the trash can lids shut...

It is a gorgeous night at the hollow. Sometimes I can hardly believe we get to live here.
