Waving Good Bye

 September is waving good bye.  

Already we are seeing tinges of October's colors.

The goldenrod is making a warm show...

The chrysanthemums are bursting out.  It is their time of the year to shine.

White asters dot the fence row.

Ms. Hollyhock decided at the last moment to perform.  She was late but certainly a welcome sight.

And so on that note I will wave goodbye and see you in October.

Have a blessed week.

Hugs

Contentment

 I find great contentment in the arrival of the autumn season.  It generally brings  

mornings that are cool and crisp - afternoons warm and sunny...  

clear blue skies...

small yellow moths that visit the meadows...

 

wild asters that grow along the fence rows and dot the countryside...

and a pleasant place to sit awhile soaking up God's beautiful gift called autumn!

Have a blessed week friends.

Hugs

Blessings

Acorns and oak leaves on the ground...

Black walnuts for winter baking...

a final harvest of veggies...  

and a few asters bravely blooming.

November may be cold and gray but it still brings its own special brand of blessings.

Hope all of you are blessed this week.

Hugs

Blush

 October is beginning to blush.

There are little passages of color here and there.

Some wonderful contrasts are making a statement.

Not all of the flowers are gone.  The Malva often waits until fall to share her lovely blossoms.

Sweet Violas continue to bloom abundantly.  They seem to enjoy the cooler season.

Even these two brave dandelions are not quite ready to say goodbye.

Naturally the Asters and Goldenrod are celebrating the start of October's blush.

Hope all of you have a delightful week.   Keep safe and keep "Looking Up".

Hugs

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.
