Sometimes the hours just seem to float by, flowing into days and then into weeks. Then suddenly a month has gone before we realize it.
After all the smokiness of September we have been reveling in golden October days interspersed with wet and chilly autumn rains. The fresh clean air has given us bright blue skies and brilliant colors on the trees. The other day I spent some time just looking up at the clouds drifting across the sky.
These photos from last year show the leaves on this tree seemed more red.
My garden didn't really take off this year for some reason. By now I should have had a little pumpkin patch for my grandchildren to explore. Unfortunately, while we have finally reached the flower stage, I have no doubt it won't be all that long before we see our first frosts and then it will be too late. The bright yellow star shape of the blossom is pretty though.
I have finally finished my indoor decorating. I love the feel of autumn around my house.
The best gift of this autumn season has been the birth of our first grandson. He surprised us all by arriving three weeks early, but he is healthy and strong and we are all in love with him.
Three beautiful babies! What can we say to the Lord except Thank You!
All blessings to you and yours.
Adieu!

ReplyDeleteThank you Diana! Yes I do love decorating for autumn and have a tendency to get carried away! Our new grandson is so sweet! We just love him to bits!
DeleteCongratulations on the birth of your grandson. It's good to know all is well. You must be rejoicing because of God's goodness. So glad that the air has cleared now. Your seasonal decorations are lovely. I've just gathered some flowers from the garden together with seed heads and have arranged them in a small jug for a table decoration. The colours are muted as the leaves turn. A few reds and oranges stand out, but still mainly green/yellow leaves everywhere. Every blessing to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you!. He is pretty special and it's such a joy to see my daughter embracing motherhood. My flame maple is always the first to turn autumn colors. Soon the whole neighborhood will be ablaze in reds and golds. It's such a beautiful time of year.
