LATE SUMMER AND FALL

 

Hello to everyone!

It's been such a long time since I posted anything.

I had a hard time remembering how.

It has been a hard road at times,

but there have been good moments too.

I try to appreciate what is now,

not always easy.

But when you hear of all the horrible things

that are going on in this world,

you have to count your blessings and hold on tight to

what really matters, family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the families

that have been affected by this senseless tragedy.

Every time something like this happens I have just one question

 

"Why?"

 

Answers fail me.

 

 

 

As to things around here.....

I went thru pictures a few days ago and wondered

where my year went.

It is still Fall and I thought I share a few from the

late Summer 'till now.

Who knows whether we will still be living here

next year.

The house is going on the market coming Spring.

We have done so much work....

and are still not quite finished.

I hope the next family will love and appreciate our  home

as much as we have.

It will be sad to say goodbye.

 

 

 

He...or she is thinking

"it's all mine....don't get any ideas"

 

 

 

This little fellow just stuffed his cheeks.

I love them all!

Except for the very large bear we had this Summer

and a poisonous snake.

Both scared me halve to death!

The bear was bending a wrought iron bar

that hangs our bird feeders down to the ground

....scary....

I won't miss that when we move into town!

 

Ebbie found this very neat hornets nest among

the wisteria,

thank God empty.

I did not have time to sit under the arbor with the wisteria

this year.

 

 

It has dried out now and still looks really interesting.

 

 

 

I took this picture just before we closed the pool.

Love the reflection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am overwintering many plants in our house

this year.

When hubby stopped working end of last year,

 I lost my "greenhouse"

which was his office.

It had the perfect light and temperature.

 

 

I am ending with a cute little winter bunny.

Sometime next week

I will post some new winter creations

for sale in my blog shop.

I will let you know the date.

With all that has been going on here,

there has been very little time to be creative.

 

Meanwhile I wish everyone a happy

Holiday season.

 

May God bless you and keep you safe!
