Rainy Autumn

I had to do a bit of walking in the rain so I made "lemonade". . . in other words, I took advantage of the pouring down rain I had to walk in to my meeting.(When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.)

One of the most colorful Autumns I have experienced!

Gold leaf magic. . .

I was struck by this clump of leaves. Never have I seen leaves so gold looking before. . . yellow, red, orange and brown but never gold. . . are fairies at work? IF you CLICK on to enlarge, you will see what I mean!

My blessing this week is autumn's arrival. A few days last week, I could have sworn that summer was still upon us because Indian Summer was l strutting it's warmth.
Now, the nights are chilly and I finally was forced to shut the windows that I had opened when the first days of spring arrived and hadn't closed since. Now, I am thrilled when the temperature rises during the day and hits 50!

Most of all. I now eagerly watch the trees changing colors and enjoy the spectacular beauty the colored leaves provide for me before the cold winter signals its arrival.
This weekend, I saw pumpkins in street gardens and at the Farmer's Market.
I saw sunflowers in full bloom!
I have to admit that AUTUMN is officially here.

POST SCRIPT. . .

With God's help, I finished the other quilt in time. It isn't perfect but it's finished and will warm one little girl it was made for.
