A Chilly Morning
Friday, September 18, 2009 at 06:46AM Forty-five degrees when I got up this morning. Poor Eve stood on the top step and whined to get in the house as if it was forty-five degrees below zero! She was shivering so hard. I think this winter is going to be hard on the old girl.
Ivy, on the other hand, seemed invigorated by the chilly air. She's as full of energy as ever.
We're losing a lot of leaves already, but very few have changed color. I think we may be in for a less than spectacular show of autumn color this year. I hope I'm wrong.
I'm feeling ready for fall; I bought my gourds and mums this week and I'm going to change my kitchen curtains and the plates on my plate rail this weekend. Pumpkins can't be far behind. . .
This morning I think I'll take Elliott to the park. I was going to take him yesterday, but he had a very runny nose and a slight fever. I hope his cold has gotten better rather than worse. If it's worse, we'll snuggle and read books.
He's here! I'll be back with pictures later!

It's the same here. Many of the leaves are just turning dull and then falling.
Have fun with Elliot!
We have leaves turning color, but it is mostly still green. And I was surprised to see how many leaves you already had down in the videos with Elliot.
I really want to move north...it won't be in the 40's here until November, and I doubt we will be raking many leaves until December.
