Changes

October's beginning has brought some lovely changes to Harmony Hills.















Goldenrod

















and white asters are making a bright display.












 Vibrant oranges and reds




have started a brilliant show.













Even the butterfly seems to enjoy October's changes.    Hope you are too!

Hugs Debbie


P.S. Thank you dear friends for your thoughts and prayers.   My dad is doing much better.

    Even though I love the summer and all the beautiful flowers it brings I have to admit the Autumn is just as nice! But most important....SO glad your Dad is doing better!!

    Glad your dad is doing better. That alone is a positive change!

    I love October, and today we had our first little taste of relief from the heat and humidity. It's still a bit humid, but the temps were down and it was breezy--a delightful day to be outside, and I haven't said that for probably seven months!

    I am so glad to hear that your dad is doing better! I will keep him in my prayers. Lovely photos of some of the lovely parts of autumn. I hope the storms didn't affect you much. We got some well needed rain here. Enjoy your weekend!

    What a joyful spray of flowers you painted, dear Debbie. The relief you must feel over your father's improvement shows through...such beautiful colors.
    I like the white asters - we have purple ones here, and growing up I heard them called them Michaelmas Daisies.
    So happy all is well.

    So pleased to hear of your dad's improvements Debbie! Your painting is really lovely - such a beautiful choice of colours! Your photos are gorgeous too - very autumnal! It must be great to have such a distinctive change to the season. Autumn for us is a very gentle change from summer to winter - but still enjoyable nonetheless!

    Your painting is really gorgeous, Debbie! What a striking color combination. I think it would make a delightful fabric as well as a remarkable framed piece! Your photos always make me slow down a bit and enjoy the moment! Welcome back, my friend!

    Glad to hear that your dad is doing better. You have captured some lovely images of the start of autumn. Still not much of a sign of it hear. Longing desperately for cooler weather and more rain.

    Glad to hear your Dad is ok now and that you are back to blogging. The beginning of October has been beautiful here too - a little bonus to be enjoyed. Sadly today is all change again - wet, cold and miserable - oh well, it had to happen sooner or later. Enjoy the rest of the week in all its beauty.

    Hi Debbie,
    Vancouver is a beautiful city to visit, but it has lost its small-city feel. It's just too big and busy for me.
    Thank you for the compliment on the cow painting. She looks done ... and contented :)
