FINALLY! We're having one day that looks like Fall. Clouds moved in yesterday, and late last night a line of storms came through. It rained pretty heavily. We needed the rain. Everything was dry and sere.
Today, it's overcast, and there's a little bit of wind. Leaves are falling and a carpet of yellow and brown is starting to build up.
I know.....I think of Fall days as being sunny, and crisp. We all watch for the beautiful color changes, and enjoy the pumpkins and taffy apples. But, this is the other look to Fall, where the trees and shrubs are storing up moisture to hold them through the winter.
I'm going to spend the day in the office, catching up on filing and paperwork. I plan to make a pot of tea, and plug in the mug warmer to keep it hot. Elegante Mother and I put a pot roast in the Crockpot. Dinner will be an easy fix, and Dear Husband will get the roast beef hash he has come to enjoy, later this week.
I hope you're all having a great day!

Glad you got some rain. I am currently watering the gardens because you guys just passed on the clouds to us - no rain at all. Selfish, selfish, selfish.
Alright, now that I've gotten that off my chest - enjoy the nice fall weather and colors!

Bogie.....we seem to be missing the flaming reds and oranges. I don't know if our change of color is delayed, or if it will be muted due to the lack of precipitation. We're seeing a lot of yellows, but that's about it.
