A Fall Daybook

Outside my window...


It's BEAUTIFUL!!!  A nice fall-ish temperature.  We have the windows open so a wonderfully cool breeze comes through.  And it looks like we will have a pretty sunset tonight.  It will get chillier through this week and next.  And our highs are only supposed to be in the 70's!!!!!!  Ah!!!  At last cool weather!!

I'm Listening to...

The wind chimes blowing in the wind.  Such a pleasing sound.  And also our large dogs barking at who knows what.  :)

I can't wait for...

Spiced tea!!!  A fall tradition around here.  I also can't wait for leaves to be falling so we can rake them up and jump in them!!  :D  Such fun!

I would love to say more but I must go help make dinner.  :)  Maybe a longer post later this week?  :)
   

Sunsets and Rainbows

Pretty isn't it? I think that these are the two most beautiful things in nature: sunsets and rainbows.

Hints of Fall

Unlike other seasons, around here fall comes slowly.  So it's really neat to find all the little hints here and there.  I took a walk to see what I could find.

This grasshopper is actually as long as my finger.... which I measured.....  about 3 in. !!!!

Weeds  (ah hem) flower-blooming-plants-that-make-you-sneeze.  

A tiny bit of red in the trees!  

If you look closely you can see the back end of a bee, that has borrowed himself head first into this morning glory.  

Not very pretty... but I liked the angle!  :) 

Do you remember the Queen Annes Lace that I took pictures of earlier this year in this post...  here's what they look like now. 

Our Butterfly bush. 

Hope you enjoyed!  Maybe soon we'll have some more fall signs.  :)

A Wonderful Find

You'll never guess how we came across this beauty!  It's an Orb-Weaver and we have seen them before around here.  She was happily positioned on her web waiting for a juicy meal(luckily she took no interest in my camera!!!).    If there is any creature in the insect world that really has true beauty - it's the Orb-Weaver.

Hopefully I'll have a "signs of fall" post for everyone soon!
