Apalachicola


Fall back, Spring ahead, no time change until Joe's birthday, Sunday, November 3, but Fall is in evidence this our first morning cooler outside than inside, 60F and dropping to 58F before the sun shows face.



Last evening the moon over Scipio Creek and Apalachicola River & Bay from our screen porch 



got several shots


and I may



show several



before getting to one I like.



What made the moon so orange, IDK, but it was.



At Trinity Church, installation of the new rector liturgy with Holy Communion last evening. We came over early for late dinner/early supper, oysters (farmed oysters and as delicious as ever) at The Station that in our Time here was Pendleton's, don't recall but by the sign on the wall must have been, Gulf station. Everyone eating there looked local but who knows.

After the service we went to an old friend's house for visit and, even though they'd finished supper, martinis and memories.

Hoping nothing comes of this, but there it is, and the instant forecast. It is too early to tell who specifically will feel the impacts. The European model shows the low-pressure system moving into Louisiana and the American model shows it moving into the Florida panhandle.




Life is Good and I love Apalachicola as much as ever. As mentioned here from time to time, my recollection's vague, but Gina remembers once, maybe late 1940s, our family driving over here to look at houses for possible moving, relocation to Apalachicola. How different every bit, inch and ounce of life would have been. Not unlikely I'd have worn white boots instead of a white collar.
