Hmm, thought I should write a blog post since (ho hum) again it has been awhile. Let's see, what will my excuse be this time. Nope, don't have one. Altho I do have a new room-mate. I think I mentioned in a blog post that my granddaughter, Bailey has moved in with me. Yes, she is still with me, settling in and trying to redefine her life after it took an unexpected turn of events. You know, life is like that. You have all these plans and then boom, something unexpected weaves it's way into your game plan and all that masterminding just goes down the proverbial toilet. We all fall, we all stumble, it's what we do after that stumble that reveals who we really are. Bailey will be just fine, she is a strong woman with a bright future. Her life will be defined by what she does going forward, not on what happened in the past.
OK, speaking of going forward, let's move on with some recent images from around here. We have had an up and down kinda Fall. One week it is absolutely gorgeous, the next very cool, and then a string of really cloudy, grey days and now we are inching back to the gorgeousness. We had a rather warm September which equals late Autumn color around here. There are small changes, but for the most part it's still pretty green around here altho very dry. We have a problem with equality when it comes to moisture. South Carolina has been deluged, 26 inches of rain in Charleston while we have had less than 1/2 inch of rain since before September. Like I said, moisture equality, not happening.
What I love about Fall is
1) the berries that were beautiful flowers in the Spring are now weighing down branches in their glory (see above)
2) the colors of reds, yellows, and oranges
3) Finding the last of the flowers of summer
4) And the light...oh the light and how it creates that special glow....
Hope you are having a lovely Fall. And just because she is so gosh darn stinkin' cute.....
Until next time......
These are stunning!! Hope you're enjoying the time with your granddaughter (-:

It's wonderful that Bailey gets to spend this time with you no matter the reason. I am sure both of you will make some wonderful memories together as you find adventures to fill your time. Matilda Mae is so cute; it seems she always has that beautiful smile on her face and those eyes....WOW.....
