135/365 Block Barbecue

Halloween afternoon, we got home from a bike ride and hurried over to the Paxton's for a barbecue. It had been a long time and it was good to share a meal and talk with neighbors. And it was good food: I made my feta-pickled beet-lettuce-carmelized walnut salad; Zelda's sweet potato-black bean chili was phenomenal. Nick made cheesy potatoes that we ate while still hot enough to burn our mouths. Christy brought this chocolate cake thingy and Valerie made whoopie pies. Shrimp, burgers, hot dogs for kids, it was good stuff and a good time. Photos:The second grade boy set in the foreground, with the kindergarten and preschool girls behind them.

Jake, Travis, Rob, the grill, a few beers.

Bonnie Dee and Daisy with balloons (their presence, the balloons, I mean, was never fully clear to me)

Billy loves wagons. He cannot quite pull his sisters around in them, though.
