as I was heading out for my walk on Wednesday, I stopped to take a photo of the oak tree just down the street…
seems like every single leaf had fallen off and was on the street…
most of the other trees along the way drop bits and pieces for quite some time…
not this one…

this was the view as I walked up the street at 5:30 tonight, sigh…
sad about the time change… I am still waking up at 5 am…
been using my SAD light at work most days…
hope to be back to normal in the next few days, cause this is rather tiresome…

looking forward to spending the evening with my BS buddies… we haven’t met too often over the summer…
ah, the summer… took this picture yesterday as I was coming home from the grocery store…
many branches on the trees are bare… and the street is covered with leaves… when I took the picture I was focusing on the leaves on the street… only discovered the bare branches when I was preparing the picture… yikes…
and the Virginia creeper is moving into its fall stage…
not only is it changing colour… something is enjoying it as a snack!
must continue to take the time to focus on special moments because time is whizzing by…

was able to pull over and take this photo this morning as I was going down the next street…
big construction on the street that I usually travel to get to work and I keep forgetting to turn north out of the driveway, lol…
the trees are lovely even as they change colour…
the canopy on this street doesn’t meet up in the middle as much as some of the other streets… still beautiful…
always trying to get a shot of one of these streets without cars, lol…

very strange to look out the front window and see garbage and recycling bins lined up along the street…
hadn’t set mine out so it was very odd to see them in the yard… first time in 43 years that they’ve been on the front street… the city has closed off a number of streets and apparently they will be working on the road for a number of months… guess I’ll be getting used to it…
last night I used the mandolin to slice some zuchinni and onions for supper… and not a scratch on me, woo hoo… I really like using the different parts of it, but have been causing injuries to my fingers nearly every time…
happy to see this little hosta peeking through the soil, although with this crazy weather hope it doesn’t freeze…
cut a few of the mini roses and put them in vases around the house…
this one is beside my bed… so pretty…
