Day Three Hundred Twenty Two 2011

"November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.
The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring."

Day Two Hundred Ninety Three 2011

Grandson Elijah showed me this leaf when he got here after school this afternoon. He called it an “Earth leaf” --his logic being that it’s not on the tree any more but on the ground, so now it is an Earth leaf. Makes sense to me. By the way, the ice cream sandwich has nothing to do with this. It just tasted really good. And he was happy to get the last one.

Day Two Hundred Fifty Three 2011
























During half time in the Tennessee/Cincinnati game, I wandered around the house, shooting some pictures using my little macro lens--just random stuff because it's fun, although the bees on the flowers weren't too happy with my camera an inch from their flying crawling bodies. And I didn't even know that spider was there until he suddenly popped into focus (I was trying to take a picture of the colorful leaf behind him). The top picture is one of the blooms on my pumpkin vine, so maybe I'll have a pumpkin or two before too long. Can you guess what the bottom two pictures are? OK I'll tell you--marbles in an old jar. It was a beautiful Saturday, much too nice to be cooped up indoors watching football, but the game was pretty exciting and I'm happy to say that Tennessee won (45-23). Not too shabby. Now that's good stuff.

I’m wondering if it’s ever going to rain again. We’ve got curled up brown leaves like this one all over our yard. Three more weeks until Autumn begins. Happy September, everyone!

Day Two Hundred Fifty One

Caught In A Web


This long dead leaf looks like it's floating in mid air over a flower pot that's been sitting empty in the back yard all Summer. It's just suspended in an abandoned spider's web, probably until next Spring when I just might clean out the pot and plant something pretty.
