I think I found fall!

just bits and pieces of it...

here and there...

but for the most part...

we are still pretty green around here...

it rained pretty much all day yesterday...

and we are back in the 80s here again...

leaves are falling anyway...

just brown ones!

DH worked yesterday...

so, Craig took me out "around the block"...

there is not much left to pick...

hope your weekend went well...

grumpy face in the rain...

I'll bet they're happy to have the sunshine back today...

we saw a lot of tilled ground already...

(that means they are finishing up and the picking corn and cutting beans are done)

our dirt is seriously that black...

grows stuff good!

have a fun day...

I am aiming for nap time, now...

so many zzzzzz's and so little time!

;o)

looking for fall colors...

we seem to be lacking in those...

but we still have color...

not sure why for sure...

lack of rain...

not cool enough...

but the tree lines are not changing...

and we are still "gardening"...

leaves are holding their green...

but, finally...

the last couple of days...

we have gotten some hints here and there...

except for the walnut trees...

they always turn first and looks dead before the others get going...

it might not be the colors you were expecting...

but its all I got to work with....

did I mention walnuts?

the only "real' fall color came from the pumpkin patch last weekend...

and they seem to be holding their own even with the warmer days...

we have had a very brief cool down...

but its heading back into the 80s...

and looks like its going to warm for us through the end of the month...

been a rough week with the tummy flu, but its finally over...

the last 2 days were spent catching up and cleaning and doing laundry...

and taking care of the baby...

who has been adopted and will leave here as soon as she is ready...

;o)

DH...

who's that?

I don't see him much...

he's been pulling 12+ hours a day, 7 days a week now...

we'll meet up again in a couple weeks...

Craig said yesterday that he thinks we will go from summer right into winter...

I think he's onto something there...

I hope not, but it looks that way...

going for a drive today to find fall...

wish me luck!

help us...

pray...

do not cease...

keep this going...

take it, pass it on...

meet Rizzo...

she was so weak when she came in here 36 hours ago...

now, she's climbing the side of the kennel...

isn't her back coloring just amazing?

doing much better...

just too little to be out in the cooler nights and I don't think her mama was feeding her anymore...

not big enough to eat with the big boys yet...

day 3 of the flu here...

nothing great, but I did get a bra and a pair of undies on today...

improvement!

looking for some rain to move in...

we could use it...

I know the farmers want to keep going...

but they need a day off, too...

every now and then...

;o)

have good days and keep prayers coming for us...

we can feel them working!

not well...but better...

the last 24 hours were not fun...

Craig got up throwing up and I spiked a fever for a full 24 hours...

things are better this morning...

he went to work and seems ok...

I am sore and achy...

heading back to bed here shortly...

got a bottle feeder in last night...

3.5 week old dark calico...

just too little to do these colder nights we have been having...

she was lifeless...

just needed bathed and warmed up...

picked the fleas off of her...

and got her belly full...

she is a happy camper...

purrs up a storm...

sleeps most of the time...

still not enough energy to play...

but another 24 hours should change that...

have good days...

;o)
