The temperature dropped from 93 to 45 this week and has been hovering in the mid-60's.
The hummer's are leaving and the wild tangled mess of the end-of-summer plants giving way for the mums, sunflowers and pumpkins to come.
Suddenly the trees are tinged with the beginning of yellow and orange.
And it is Fall!
Cinderella-ing here today and Amber arrives Monday to scrub the carpets.
Tomorrow set aside for football and the very first pot of chili and loaf of
French bread spread thick with butter!
And our Annual Bet.
John has his Colts...and I have my Chiefs.
The winner of tomorrow's ball game gets the other's $5.
lol
The colors on John's riding path are getting beautiful!
And he has been taking me along in photographs. Which is nice.
Artists setting up easels along the bike path.
Impromptu Concerts.
Kitties.
A huge hornets nest!!
A "book-box"
And more.
I can't wait until we take a walk here together!!!
I may have to bring some books to leave at the box to share :)
Gadget waiting for her prince to come.
And "Mr. Wilson"
...sorry I'm late, babe...traffic was terrible!
And Fall, well underway at Brooks Falls in Alaska...
Where the salmon run is drawing to an end...and the bears are HUGE and almost ready for Fat Bear Week...and the contest...October 5th through the 11th...before hibernation.
(...a sad note this week...as #94, who had the quad cubs this year, lost one of the four to a boar early in the week. The big male killed one outright and went after a second but 94 fought him off and later reunited with the remaining 3...)
It is very very rare for quads to make it all the way to winter.
Now back to the housework!
Have a great weekend!!
love,
Carla
