So many to choose from! Elijah surveys a most excellent choice of pumpkins and gourds at a local farmer's market this afternoon. He picked out something small for himself and also for his mom, dad, and sister.

Day Two Hundred Sixty Five 2010
Happy Fall, Y'all!
Daughter Kelly sent me this picture of ornamental gourds she bought at a vegetable stand down the road from her house. 25 cents each. Not too shabby. Even better--they're for me! She knows I love gourds. The gnarlier the better. It's nice to be thought of. Thanks, Kelly! Welcome, Autumn! The most wonderful time of the year.

"the air is different today
the wind sings with a new tone
sighing of changes coming
the harvest gathered
a flower, a nut
some mead, and bread
a candle and a prayer
returning the fruits
in thanksgiving
to the grove
and receiving
it's blessing
again"

Day Two Hundred Sixty Four 2010
Goodbye, Summer
The last day of Summer sunshine was already stretching my shadow along the grass even though it was only lunch time.
My waiting-for-Shelby sky (in Solaris).
Elijah had the best time putting stickers on a sheet of paper today. They came in the mail with a magazine offer. Free fun.
Shelby's thoughts are already into October. She's been drawing Halloween related pictures for a couple of weeks now.
The boys of Summer. Elijah waits his turn at bat in his fifth T Ball game this afternoon. He only has one more game. His game was at the same time as Shelby's fast pitch softball game. Since she has many more games to play, we opted to watch Elijah's team.
He hit the ball hard and he got to play infield and some first base and he played well. The kids still don't have much of a clue about what to do with the ball once they have it. Elijah scooped it up and was immediately tackled by one of his own team mates who must have really wanted the ball. Funny stuff. I can't think of a better way to say goodbye to Summer.
The sky over my backyard around 12:30 today.

Day Two Hundred Sixty Three 2010
Seems I have missed yet another day of taking a picture, but this one will do just fine. Grandson Elijah in his cowboy hat two years ago. This is one of my favorite of him.
