I saw this in the paper this morning, and I thought I'd pass it alone. If you're an animal lover, this is a very cute blog. A nice stress breaker! The Cuteness
BTW, I am in a little better frame of mind and body and able to get things done today. I got a good night's rest. Amazing what appropriate rest does for us! This will probably be my only message for the day, because I'm trying to make up a little of yesterday's losses. Have a good weekend, everyone.
PS - I just stepped outside to retrieve my recycle bin from the curb and noticed that, although it fairly warm (lower 80s, I think) I can tell it is fall. I can smell the turning of the leaves in the air. I know that is a strange statement, but literally, the scent of drying leaves hangs there. Mmmmm.
Glad you got a better nights rest. Rest does make all the difference in the world. I, too, can smell fall. In the mornings when I go out with Sophie I can really tell that fall is just around the corner. Our little tree in the front has a few red leaves. Before we know it, the whole thing will be red.
ReplyDeleteI've been living in the south - Florida and now the southwest - NM for the past years and miss that smell from growing up in the north. I know exactly what you mean - it is such a satisfying smell. Thanks for reminding me. :^)

Fall is my favorite season..I can feel it in the air! The leaves are already turning brown and starting to fall off the big oak tree in the backyard.
ReplyDeleteOh, and no I didn't get a camera yet. I appreciate the suggestions, but I think I might have to wait until Christmas to get one because my funds aren't looking too good right now! But it will make a nice present for myself!

caroline - Doesn't it smell good? mmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteilias - Are you still in the Santa Fe area? There will definitely be a "change" in NM. My son is in the south-central maountains, near Ruidoso, and is seeing some turning now. My nephew in the Las Vegas area says he thinks I'll be there in time to see the changing in early Oct. So hold on, it's coming your way, too. I've never seen the fall colors in the upper northeast,and I understand it is spectacular. What part of the north are you from?
jen - Fall is my favorite, too. I like winter, too, if it isn't too gloomy, the reason I don't like it here. About the camera, here is another thought . . . until you get the digital, you can take pictures with your existing camera and have them put on a CD at developing. Then you can upload into your computer that way.
I miss the fall soooooooo much! It was my favorite time of the year. I miss the briskness of the air and the wonderful smells of fall. I am glad you are doing better. I miss you more than you know!!!! ILY TL
ReplyDeletetl - I know you do. But you wouldn't give up your permanent vacation home would you? Maybe when you (or Kirk) are rich and famous, you can live in the north for a month or 2 in the fall! And I love you, too, baby girl!!
ReplyDeleteI to love the smell of Fall. Today we got rain in Big D so we aren't sweltering here at the Shoe!
ReplyDeletetol - I'm so glad you got some relief. This has been a brutal summer, hasn't it? Hey, I have a niece in Allen. When I get settled and begin doing some of the travelling I want to do, she is one of my priorities. I'll let you know when I do, and perhaps we could meet for lunch or something of the sort!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better. I heart the smell of leaves.. burning... in a pile.. the mustiness... just love it!
ReplyDeletepatti - fall is the best, isn't it?
