How beautifully leaves grow old.

How full of light and color are their last days.
~John Burroughs

Sleeping a little longer than usual, time with Pops without a "to-do" list, and a walk through the woods enjoying the beginning of Fall's splendor . . . so grateful for God's blessings of the day . . . a much needed day of rest and relaxation.

colors of summer

i love the colors of summer! visiting our state farmers' market is always a treat. thank you, NC farmers!

we ventured out to the market early this morning. ymmm . . . lots of fresh fruit & veggies for us the next several days! tasted a new melon today ~ the canary melon ~ seemed liked a mix between honeydew and canteloupe. absolutely d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s.!

Where are the pirates?

I'm almost sure I heard them whisper, "But . . . where are the pirates?"

A brief "Staycation"

I am taking a few days off from work; and as always, composed myself a little list of things that I needed to accomplish & things I'd like to enjoy during this small "staycation."

Yesterday's staycation made me think of you, Nana Jane and Sarah . . . take a look at these pictures and I think you'll know why.

Just a little glimpse of the sights around Durham & Chapel Hill~

Cheraw

Enjoyed a visit in Cheraw. Pretty yard, Granddaddy Bob. Delicious soup, Nana Jane! Love you.

Yellow is the color of Spring . . .
