Falling Leaves of autumn...

~~~

"The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold....

I see your lips, the summer kisses,
the sunburned hands, I used to hold.

Since you went away, the days grow long
and soon I'll hear ol' winter's song.

But I miss you most of all my darling,
When autumn leaves start to fall."

  Johnny Mercer, lyrics, Autumn Leaves 

~This is from a trip we were on to North Carolina-

a few years ago!

Wish I could see those autumn leaves this year!!~

Here in north Fl (sadly) we don't get the colorful leaves in autumn.  In fact, it still looks a lot like summer here, but I do notice a slight coolness in the air; especially early mornings.

We still have a lot of flowers blooming, though, and a few are in shades that make me think of the fall colors of the places further north!

...And I DO have fake fall leaves to make my place look festive!

;)

Here are some of the flowers blooming around our place right now.

There are a few autumn colors among them...right??

Happy autumn day to all of you!

Last week my my son-in-law and his good dog , Cassie, were home for a few days. Cassie is Marc's riding companion on his job as a long distance trucker!

She is such a good girl and so very devoted to Marc!

This is her home most of the time!

(Marc's too!)

Here she is enjoying a break among the autumn leaves...somewhere along that long road the two travel! What a sweet old girl she is!

Sweet Cassie

More skin surgery for Charles...

~~

Yesterday Charles had another appointment for skin surgery,this one on his ear. In the past he's had several such procedures done on his face, arms and hands etc. They are usually classified as precancerous...but sometimes NOT.  This one on the back of his ear was one of the more serious types and after the cutting out he had to have a small skin graft from a section of his face just in front of the ear.  He hasn't felt well today but, hopefully, will soon be on the mend.

The place where we have to go to have these things done is more than 40 miles from our house, (maybe 50) so it's a long day.

This was our beautiful fall sky yesterday. I took this when we arrived at the place...

The waiting room was comfortable and welcoming.  I liked this statue and our flag in the main waiting area.

They also had a coffee machine and cookies for the ones left to wait.

After a second trip back...after the cutting and testing...Charles was finally finished and ready to leave!

... Rescued me just in time, too, as another old lady had just started into  what looked to be a political tirade with me!  Whew!!

On our way home, we decided to stop for dinner at a restaurant we both love. Actually, this is one of the two  'Stump knockers' restaurants that we visit when it's convenient. One is located in the town of Inverness...this one of yesterday is near Hernando, right  next to the Wichlaccochee River!  This is a beautiful setting ; ideal for a Catfish/Seafood restaurant!

 

This is what the Catfish looks like!

Great!!

 

And this is our favorite - fried mushrooms!

After our meal, we took a few minutes  looking around the property outside by the river!

One of these days we're gonna take a riverboat ride up that lazy river!  Charles promised!!

Love

Fall outing with 2 of my girls...

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day for us here in north Fl and Tina, Alli and I took advantage of it by taking it all in at an Art Festival in our little town.

Some pics to follow:

~

These are as we were about to leave from my house...

We had a fine lunch together and then we went to look at a lot of pretty art displays. I spent a lot of time,  too,  just 'taking in' the natural beauty of our area - mainly the giant Live Oaks draped with Spanish Moss.

I always enjoy seeing the student art work from our local schools, as well as the more professional displays.

Other sights of the Art Festival:

Tina and Alli, checking out some pretty shawls...

Friendly critters...and interesting stuff!

 

Do you know this feeling??
