Thoughts on Fall

As I took my walk with Max this morning, I pondered about the season of Fall.  Today, Oct. 1st, is a beautiful fall day - bright sunshine, cool temperature, slight breeze.  You can smell fall in the air and feel the crispness of the morning.  I always say that Spring is my favorite time of the year - and it is, until Fall arrives.

I love:
the different colors of the leaves - red, orange, yellow and brown still mixed with green
the last remnants of the flowering bushes
the different colored mums
the warmth of the sun
the falling leaves
a fire in the fireplace to take the chill out of the house
the winding down of the summer season of hot, humid days and nights
soaking in the hot tub, looking at the starry sky
sipping a cup of tea

This is the time for all of nature to prepare for the cold winter that will soon be here, but until that time arrives, I will enjoy each day of this Fall season and thank God for the beauty of this land He created.

    Picture perfect! I also love fall for these same reasons. The trees are starting to turn. M and P picked up their first red/orange leaves to toss into the air. What beauty!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
