Signs of Fall in the Air.....
.
Even with all our beautiful warm sunny temperatures we've been experiencing lately, looking around at all the changing colours of leaves, it's inevitable that Fall will be here soon...
.
I don't mind Fall time one bit...in fact it is a gorgeous time of the year with all the beautiful reds, golds, and yellows....
.
It's what comes after Fall that I really don't care for...the long and cold Winter...
.





Winter can be beautiful too, don't get me wrong, but it's hard not to completely lose your mind when the cold seems to last forever! That's why we have to enjoy these nice temperatures and beautiful colours while they last, cuz you never know when Mother Nature will decide to flick that switch...
.
I love Bulrushes...always have. I can remember when I was a little girl begging my Mother if I could go and pluck one whenever I seen one...I just couldn't wait to break it open and shake it all over and make it snow fluff everywhere! Perhaps that's why Mom wasn't too keen on the idea...
.
Well, I've got the house all to myself once again...Hubby at work and Kiddies at school. My mornings seems to be getting a little better...some mornings I thank the Good Lord that I only have 2 children to get ready for school...you'd think that it wouldn't be that difficult to get two children ready but around here it is...I have been finding though that the key to a good morning is getting organized the night before...laying out clothes and figuring out what they will be taking for lunch and gathering up homework...I've also come to the conclusion that they are a little bit lazy in the morning and I do believe that's my fault as I have always gotten everything together and ready for them each morning and reminded them over and over to do the things that they need to do, so I think they really rely on me to that every morning...I should really be trying to break them (and me) of this.
.
Well, I'm off to go whip up a delicious toasted, "home-grown tomato" sandwich for my breakfast with lots of mayo and then I need to finish blocking dishlcoths...I'll keep you posted.
