THE LEAVES ARE FALLING FAST!



On my run this morning I got this lovely view.  Unfortunately the sun was not really shining.I would have had some amazing photos yesterday with all the color.  The few hours prior to this photo ... it rained.  Of course when it rains, the leaves come falling down ...

Can you guess where my property line ends?
  Hopefully the lady next door will not curse us when our leaves blow onto her yard ;)  WE ARE NOT CLEANING UP UNTIL SATURDAY.  Of course I am tempted to get out there with a rake, but my husband would say that was a waste of my time.  His thoughts ... "let ALL the leaves fall, and I'll just use the lawn mower to vacuum, mulch, and bag those annoying leaves".

Love the property line! That's hilarious...ours is the same...many older men in our neighborhood out with the rakes and leaf blowers as soon as a leaf hits the ground. I bide my time till that last one drops and call a family work day.

Enjoy your last few ticks of fall, E. It is such a beautiful time of the year.

I'm worried. South Dakota is getting absolutely dumped on today(snow). Our weather generally blows in from that direction. WWWWAAAHHHH!

If it makes you feel any better the views on your run are better than mine.

Is that other property owner retired or childless....who the heck can keep their yard that clean

ROB ... retired owners next door. Before moving to my current home, I had an awesome garden, but since moving next to this lady I feel a bit down. My yard is too much for me to handle and IF my husband and I get to it every few weeks that is good. I would be better off with NO NEIGHBORS.

Stunning pictures of your girls.
(And incidently, I don't hate you because you have an amazing ability to use self control when eating sweets. WE, the group that has no self control, NEED you to look up to.)

I am with your husband. Smart man. Wait until all the leaves are down. Neighbors need to be nice.

Such a sweet picture of the girls.

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
