October & November

Hokay, time to pare down the backlog. Here is the rest of October and November in photos (and captions)!

Ken and Lorna came to visit the weekend after I got back from Orlando. Keeping me on my toes! We visited the National Aviary (which also inexplicably has a very cute sloth), the incline (of course), Soba (yumm), the Heinz chapel (nondemonimational, woo, plus we got a free tour of the organ which was awesome), saw some kids playing Quiddich, and the Cathedral of Learning -- amongst other things. Very fun, and the weather was unexpectedly beautiful!

After they left, I helped SWE (the society of women engineers) host another Pittsburgh Glass Center class. We made glass pumpkins again this time, but I made mine extra tiny to contrast with the nice tall one I'd made last year. It's in the middle!

Peter and I also were able to tour the Pittsburgh observatory because of SWE. They had a very serious slide rule!

We also enjoyed 11/11/11! Here are some shots from the green roof that day..

And Peter's parents visited the following weekend. We hiked Frick park and made monkey bread - low-key and lovely.

I'll leave you with a little pumpkin putrification collage, somewhat seasonal, courtesy of some grad students who left them on the roof. :)
