Lovin' Fall


Fall called my heart to the out-of-doors this afternoon. Decided that it was more important to enjoy the beauty of God's creation than to keep my appointment with the treadmill at Rex! It was a great afternoon for yard work . . . the last time we picked up sticks and pine cones, there were family chickadees running all over the yard doing the job for us. My heart smiled as I remembered.Pops and I are lovin' Fall. The leaves are just beginning their change to different colors, and the flowers are in their full splendor . . . . . . these yellow mums are from Granddaddy Bob's 80th birthday celebration!
Adam & Connie, we had to thin out clumps of your purple bearded irises from our beds. We're looking for homes for about 30 really healthy tubars. Becky (next door) took some this afternoon - but, there are still plenty more. Any takers? The cannas will be next!


PS . . . Total change of course: Pops surprised me with tickets to a concert last Saturday night. It was a belated anniversary sercy!! Our first concert in 22 years . . . we had a delightful time ~ Five Guys & a Burger; gorgeous Fall evening, complete with stars; front row on the lawn at Walnut Creek; snuggled under a blanket and tapping our feet to the songs of Little Big Town and Sugarland. What fun!

we would love to take some of those flowers off your hands. Hopefully we will have a yard to plant them in by this spring.
