Is It Fall Already?

Must be, the weather has finally cooled off, it's been in the fifties for the past few days here, but thankfully, no frost yet. I  guess I am the oddball around, I don't care for fall, except that I don't have to water the flowers as much, and they do get lush again, just in time for the freeze to kill them. Oh well, soon enough and it will be spring again. I feel like the past summer has been wasted at my house, anyway, I've had a bum knee and a bad back all summer and couldn't do any of the things I had planned to do. Maybe I'll be fixed up and feeling better next summer, and I can put up the fence I have wanted for three years now.

Now I will look forward to Christmas. I absolutely skip fall. I don't decorate for fall, or Halloween, I just let my summer flowers last as long as they will, then when they are gone, I just wait until I can put up Christmas decorations. The only concession to fall  is Thanksgiving. We always have a big Thanksgiving dinner,

Enough griping.

I have added a few pictures to my albums and they are pretty, to me at least. I'm not the most skillful gardener, don't know what I'm doing a lot of the time, but the few flowers I get to grow provide me with lots of pleasure. I had an overabundance of kittens this year also, so they have helped to decorate the garden.

Soon I plan to add some more pictures of the creek. It is beautiful there, and there are a few places that are downright gorgeous.
