Today, no cockerel crowed to start my day, but I did awake to a clear, cooler, sunny morning. The newly seeded grass is soaking up the night time dew.......and the little sprinkling I gave it last evening. The brilliant green of tiny new blades, so beautiful. The new coolness in the air refreshes the spirit and energizes the body. Soon the mosquitoes will disappear and I can get out and work in the garden again. Lots of work ahead........Autumn is a busy season. Aren't they all in their own way?
Welcome beautiful October. Month of my birth. Time of the year I enjoy most. This October will mark my forty seventh year in this amazing country. I will celebrate by heading to the North Carolina mountains soon, where I'll meet some special blogging friends, and just enjoy the beauty of Nature dressed for Autumn.

The North Carolina mountains are a perfect location for the celebration which is Autumn. We usually try to get over for at least one weekend in October, but I am not certain it will be possible this year.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this day.
Dear Mary, my son and daughter-in-law live in Atlanta and every opportunity they have - they escape to the mountains of NC. I imagine one day they will want to live amidst that beauty.
ReplyDeleteI have just begun to sand the table top, next comes a little wood filler for several nail holes and surface damage.
Enjoy this glorious Fall.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOur day here is Ohio started out at 35 degrees. It is just too cold to start October. I look forward to the changing colors on the trees though.

The mountains in the fall must be a real treat. What fun to get together with some blogging buddies. I'm in love with that white rooster of yours. What can you tell me about it?

Mary, I love October too, and I am so afraid that we aren't going to get ours here in ND. It is snowing in Southwestern ND today, and we may get some in Bismarck tonight. It is going to be sooo cold into next week. Our leaves haven't even turned yet. I may have to turn to paintings and lovely drawings like Ms. Holden's to get my taste of October.
