For The Love Of A Cat

Oliver came bearing gifts this morning.

A squirmy snake......

Trick or treat.

Long Awaited

I can hardly contain my excitement.

It's raining bucket-loads !!

Season Of Mists

Our day started with a thick, soupy fog, and much cooler weather than we have had in weeks.

It lingered all morning long, making driving quite dangerous.

Of all days, I had appointments to keep, and putting them on hold wasn't an option.

By noon, the fog had lifted, and sunshine had made an appearance.

A typical Autumn day, I tried to forget it was Friday the 13th.

 

Home Sweet Home

 

 

Braided rugs
Tea-filled mugs
Flowers in jugs
Familiar hugs
Heartstring tugs

Autumn Days

Mother Nature must have heard our pleas for rain and obliged, courtesy of hurricane Nate.
The trees are slowly beginning their changing of color, yellows, oranges and reds.
Pumpkins are now decorating porches and gardens.
The songbirds busily returning to their winter homes.
The kettle is on the hob, and two sleepy felines are curled up by the hearth.
Autumn the gentle season.....

Rain-Less

We have been without rainfall for over a month now.

Our Autumn days have been unusually dry, considering throughout the Spring and Summer seasons we had more than our share of rain.

The lack of moisture will affect our Fall leaf show, trees have begun to lose their leaves, with very little color in sight.

The sunsets however remain spectacular.
