Goodness, Gracious....

The "falling sun" looked like a Great Ball O' Fire!



Definitely fall has arrived. The day is warm and golden, the night is playing biting games with the fairest flowers and shrubs. The hubbys work schedule has tightened and Dancing With The Stars is on Monday and Tuesday evenings. It is time to get out the dusting mitten. But. . . . . . . it will wait.



Late comment: At the end of harvest and the wheat fields are dry and some are burned, plus the additional huge wild fire that smoked us for days - we have a thick layer of dust and grime on everything that needs to be addressed. I'd like to address it to someone else..............

Oh, that reminds me of the sunset at my grandparents' farm in North Dakota. *smile*

You know, the one where THEN, ALL THE TREES DIED. ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

This morning on my way to drop the kindergartner off - there was a faint mist just hanging in the lower parts of the hills - and at one point, the rising sun was sending rays through it. I need to take my camera with me.

We're easing into Fall here, this week has been FULL of perfect days--clear skies (instead of the haze & humidity & HEAVINESS of summer) and a hint of cooler temps. This picture is what I see in my mind's eye when it comes to the season. Love it! (How did I miss it yesterday??)

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Image
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
