NOVEMBER – Winter is setting in. With return to Standard Time the dark evenings are even longer. It will soon be dark by 6:00 p.m. here in southern Ohio. Many of our November days are just all-over grey, from grey skies to gray hills with leafless grey trees and grey atmosphere – just cold, damp and gloomy. Still too early to expect much, if any, snow. But on an occasional sunny day we might enjoy a heavy frost on lingering green leaves. And inside all is warm, colorful and cheery. All month (in my family, anyway) we are planning the Thanksgiving feast. Thanksgiving Day, a day set aside for giving thanks to God for all the blessings in our lives, is a national holiday and a major one for most of us.
Here at the Gabfest, we have the gloom of empty nests. But we also have the cheer of knowing that Millicent is settled in her warm winter home, while Breagha is enjoying his second winter not too far away. Our chat-room fires are kept burning brightly and our new TV/telly screen is always at the ready., so hopefully we can all keep our computers in working order and enjoy a little chit-chat, some music and maybe a bit of streetwalking. Special Events include the possibility of another Music Night with suggested Movie theme and a group streetwalk to some as yet mystery location.
So where is our Gabfest chat-room.? Have you ever wondered? Well of course, it is at some undisclosed cyberspace location in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, not too far from the Loch Garten nest, home of EJ and Odin.

I can still get a live cam at Hellgate, although same as at Loch Garten, the osprey have long gone. Here too like most of northern USA everything is colorless and dull. Someone has moved the camera to show more of the scenery with the nest barely visible in the lower right corner.
Good evening all. Mulberry nice to see you here again. Thankyou June for the photos and videos. My internet has been throttled until 30 November as have exceeded our data so is unusable at the moment! On borrowed one at work so not able to open the videos but did watch the baby camel one on my phone.
Great news that Millie and Breagh are still exploring their territories and hope they continue to do well and hopefully wwe may see Breagh make a Northward journey before too long!
It has been raining here all day and night.
Willow, glad you could make it onto the Gabfest for a while. I wonder why it is that technology seems to go backward instead of forward.
Hello Bente I loved your photos and I especially liked the chicken in the tree! Its amazing what the temptation of food can do! It looks so different to how I imagined its a fascinating landscape. Thank you for sharing them!
Good morning/afternoon
This is interesting. four feeding stations in one yard on one screen.

I have just received a couple of emails yhat may be of interest to Gabbers.
Fish has never been overly talkative, but I have recently been concerned about her due to her complete absence from our pages for well over a week. She has just informed me that her computer has been down, but it is now OK thanks to a visit fro a "techie". I am quite relieved that her silence was computer related and not physical problems. She has assured me that she intends to "hang out" with us during the empty winter months.
Looking forward to your posts, Fish.
My second email was a surprise to me, but one that pleased me very much.
