The roses are beginning to open.  I love the color.  Hope they survive until fully open...

It was cool this morning...in the mid 40's.  And lower temperatures at night seem to be the future norm.  (It may be time to change from tshirts to sweatshirts.) However, beginning Thursday, there is rain forecast for the next six days!

I'm still wondering if we will have rain instead of snow for the upcoming winter.

I've noticed that the bird feeders are not being emptied as fast as they were earlier...interesting.  I wasn't aware that so many of our backyard birds migrated to warmer climates.  Some, like robins, I was aware of, but others, like wrens, I really didn't know.  

They also leave in stages, some early like hummingbirds, some in the middle of migration time like robins and wrens and some late like geese and ducks.  The key to their leaving seems to be the length of daylight.  

The deer are still here and very bold.  They casually walk through the yard looking for food to munch on without regard to us or even the cats when they are out in their outdoor enclosure, in other words, their catio.  

Looking around, it seems to me that things are changing fast.  The leaves are rapidly losing their vitality and green color.   The gardens both vegetable and flower are turning brown and wilting.  I guess that means it's time to do some fall pruning.  And the tree across the street has turned to brown with a tiny bit of orange.  It wasn't that long ago when I noticed it beginning to change!  Looks like fall is here whether the calendar says so or not!

Here are a few more of the brown paper based, scrap fabric decorated with card stock journaling cards ephemera...




I was up early but after staying up late to watch the game last night, I seem to be slow in getting going on my to-do list.  Well, I can cross off the blog for today.

Have an amazing day...and thanks for dropping by...

Talk with you tomorrow...
