long day
red staghorn, originally uploaded by Lizzie~Belle.
My company had an open house this evening, so I was in the office for nearly 11 hours today. I took a walk down to CVS this afternoon to get out of there for a little while (and pick up some vitamins, which were even on sale!), and this staghorn sumac caught my eye. So fuzzy and red.
First thing this morning, as I was getting out of the car, the frosty grass caught my eye, and I spotted this pine cone:
Also: it's Clementine season. Yum.
I took a bunch of pictures at the open house, some of which I've uploaded, but I'll post those tomorrow. Unless I take something better.
It actually was rather fun. The food was yummy, and there were cookies and connolis, and wine & beer. I had a Magic Hat #9, and it was kind of fun to be drinking at the office. There have been a few times when I wished I could do that. *g*
I retreated to my desk for a few moments because it was hot in the art room, and my mom chose that moment to call me. I told her where I was, but did that stop her? No, she chattered on as usual. *g*
I left at 7:00, after a few other coworkers had left and I figured it was safe. Last time, I stayed and helped clean up, so I figured it was someone else's turn.
Tired now. *yawn*
