Day Two Hundred Seventy Three 2011

The sun sets on September and puts a chill in the air. Onward to October—my most favorite time of the year. Happy TGIF, everyone!

Day Two Hundred Seventy Two 2011

Grandson Elijah’s T Ball team, the Braves, won 2nd place in their league championship game this evening. The whole team played hard this season, especially these last three games. And kudos to all the coaches.  I’m sure at certain moments they felt like they were herding cats. Elijah is very proud of his trophy, and I am very proud of him for doing such a great job smacking those balls and fielding as short stop for his team. Good job, Braves!

Pumpkins and gourds come in all sorts of colors and shapes, sizes and textures. Here are a couple of macro versions, smooth and gnarly. Autumn rocks!

Day Two Hundred Seventy 2011

Several weeks ago, I covered two or three of the mini pumpkins I had left over from last Autumn with some dirt and mulch. They sprouted with lots of vines that grew lots of flowers but no fruit. Today I found this tiny pumpkin growing on one of the vines. I hope it survives. Maybe there will be more. How cool is that?

Capture a shadow,
dance with the wind,
stand in a rainbow,
begin at the end.
