Oh what lovely shots Traci! You definitely nailed the beauty of the season. We've really only just gotten some fall weather here, so it seems crazy to think winter is really not that far behind! With how hot it was so late, I'm not sure we'll get that much color in the trees. Seems like a lot of them are just turning brown and dropping. Fingers crossed for a few welcome glimpses of that stunning color, though. It was pretty chilly the last few nights, though still nice during the day. I caught a little garter snake sunning himself in the backyard yesterday, but didn't have my phone on me to try to get a shot. Snakes aren't my favorite, but he was pretty cute (and harmless). Hope you don't get hit with too bad of weather just yet! Warm wishes as the hubs continues to recover!

Thanks so much, Katie! I hope you get some beautiful bursts of color before the season is over. And I hear that - a couple weeks ago, hubby found a small garter snake under a rock near our house, and it was moving as if it were hurt. The next day, it jumped out in front of me and skittered quickly down the driveway and I was half relieved to see it doing so well, and half ooged out to the max!
We got fairly lucky with the storm (which ended up turning into an awesomely
NOTnamed Bomb cyclone) and only had about a half dozen power flickers, and no major downed trees. However, wind was so intense it forced water in through a window in our bedroom (of course, the one behind my side of the bed!) but it could've been so much worse. Oh, and I passed your wishes along to Jim and he said thanks! 😊Oh yikes, that stinks about the leak, but glad it wasn't too bad otherwise. Hopefully it isn't too nasty of a winter ahead up there.
I'm pretty sure I would have squealed pretty loudly if the snake jumped out in front of me! Even when they are teeny weeny I still get the shivers, haha.
Given how many acorns are carpeting the ground (which is one of those Old Farmer's Almanac kind of weather prediction things), I get the feeling we're in for a beaut. But at least I won't have to worry too much about hubby being out in it for at least the next four-ish months. 😂
Oh yeah - so you heard me all the way over there, eh? 😉
A snake squeal? Yes, I can hear those from about 5,000 miles away. Just in case I need to run away from here. 🤣
