AUTUMN IS IN THE AIR

A slight bit of color has arrived around us in SW Georgia.  The grapevines are turning.  Some of the leaves from the dogwood trees have turned brown and fallen.. the same with the pecan trees.  The birds are few in numbers right now.  Even though the House Finches are here year-round I think some migrate.  In a few weeks the chipping sparrows will arrive and before you know it spring will be here and a family will occupy this box or another one.. this one looks a bit need of repair or replacing. (when clicked on the photos will open in a new window in Flickr to a slightly larger photo)

 

Oh my.... this is all the decorating I'm doing for Autumn.  She is all ready to give you a Welcome Hug.

Traveling is in the air for me when the weather becomes cooler.  We do not camp in a tent any more.  We hook up the travel trailer to the truck and go. I'm so ready to travel... even if it is nearby. 
  

Wreath -- Show and Tell Friday

~


I thought my wreath would be good for this post.

The wreath will probably be the extent of our Christmas decorations this year other than cards that will be displayed. I put together the wreath a few years back. It is like me... simple. The bow probably needs a bit of fluffing. The bear theme just seemed cute at the time.




Today I washed a few dishes. I managed to help with the laundry a little... so hard to do when you aren't able to bend.


Frank made Slum Goodie today. He made enough to put in the freezer. I'm so lucky to have Frank as my husband.


After lunch we went for our walk. It was 60° outside and the sun shining beautifully. The fresh air is so nice.
