behind my house
Here we are again so soon!
The furnace comes on at night.
A scarf is a good idea.
I drink tea just for warming up
and wear socks to bed.
The leaves have one foot in summer, the other in autumn.
Yep! Fall has come to town.

The Pancake Chronicles
My name is Colleen.
I love taking my time and finding beauty and humour in things before they happen - as in seeds and salamanders.
"The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the Mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where I ought to have been born. Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home? For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back."
C.S. Lewis - Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold
"Look, it's not in my nature to be mysterious. But I can't talk about it and I can't talk about why."

Oh! The colours! So pretty I can smell the forest.
If there's one redeeming thing about fall, it's the lovely colors.
OH my heart breaks :( We are in the same boat girl. PG has been so cold and so much rain (again today) that we didn't have summer and I noticed when I drove to town yesterday that the underlying colour on the leaves is changing to yellow. Ick. Hang on summer, you have to make an appearance. Sigh...its no use is it??

It was chilly this morning (and again this evening) as I walked our dog. It rained all day and never got above 68. Probably not terribly cold to you, but in Nebraska it's a bit unusual for this time of year. I love long, hot summers and I'm really not ready to greet the cold winter months! Maybe we'll get lucky and have a nice long fall.
Gorgeous pictures, by the way!
The leaves are changing here as well, altough we are having a burst of late summer temps. Fall is coming too quickly.
I am green with envy. Autumn is my favorite time of year for sure, but here I sit feeling the full blast of the A/C to keep the 93 degree outside temp from getting too close to my skin. Ick. All we have here is dead grass and droopy trees; everything is thirsty. Including my soul. Send some of that lovely season my way? :)
oh and I forgot to add how much i love the first photo. it screams all things autumn...spicy tea, wool sweaters and a crackling fire. :)
hello way up north ~ this is my first visit here ~ thankyou for sharing your talents ~ I am in texas ~ fall is far away still ~ blessings
Your town looks nice dressed up in Fall :)
If it makes you feel better I wore socks to bed last night :)
I love this: "The leaves have one foot in summer, the other in autumn." Isn't that just the way, this time of year.
Astrologically, too, in that Virgo is the transition time- the time of part summer and part fall.
ooh, beautiful. I love fall. I look forward to it arriving here in Georgia in about three months :)
The autumn turns up slowly here to (Sweden, Europe).
I love the autumn, but cant stand the winter.
You have a nice blog, I found it through 9131
Have a nice weekend
3191 I should say!
Hello everyone! It was nice to hear from you all! Thank you for your kind words. An especially warm welcome to Elk, who is enjoying the loveliness of summer for some time to come (whilst I wear socks to bed), and to Charlotte, who can sympathize with me and the soon-ness (ableit the beautiful-ness) of a northern fall, - thanks for stopping in to say your first hello! Wow. That was, uh, some sentence! Welcome all!
any questions?
