It's very cloudy this morning and rain is in the forecast for the next five days.  It's already 72 but only going to 78 degrees.

I noticed that the tree across the road is really changing from green to gold...only one of the many trees but it's turning quite fast.  Wonder if that portends what fall color is going to be like...change fast and gone in a New York Minute.  I'll have to keep track of the color change so I can get at least one leaf peeping trip before the color is gone.  How are things where you live...are trees starting to change yet?

So I did finish the journal I made as a response to the 'Wish Journal' that was shown on 'Treasure Books'.  I was only able to put in two signatures as each signature was crammed full of pockets, tucks, etc.  Heres the first page of the journal...

The second page contains a pocket with a folder that holds a folded journaling page...


The third page holds a corner tuck with an unusual shaped folded journaling card...

The third page contains a side tuck with a folded journaling card...


Today is the last day of August 2026.  Tomorrow I will begin September with a new word for the month, a new monthly challenge and a hopefully a new perspective.  Although each day I hope to provide a new perspective, a new way to think about things and hopefully something positive for you to think about.

So, speaking about the monthly challenge, how did you do?  I failed miserably...I didn't even walk intentionally every day.  I really hope you did better than I did.  I'm thinking that for my own personal monthly challenge I will try to intentionally walk five days a week.

Do you have your own little challenges...daily, weekly, monthly...longer?  We all have large yearly and monthly goals, but what about those small ones that you hope to undertake.  I like to make daily lists for things to do each day...I am going to add 'a short walk' on each weekday beginning tomorrow.  However, I am going for a walk today as soon as I finish posting my blog.

Have a great day and stay well...
Talk with you tomorrow...
