Bring it on...

"Come, autumn, come. Bring leaves of crimson on golden bough; misty morns and amber dusk; a harvest of plenty, and pumpkins on the vine. And so the gathering season begins, swathed in exquisite abundance and earthen beauty."

{From Pg. 63 in 'Victoria' magazine, Sept./Oct. '08}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who can not look forward to Autumn, when this {click-->} magazine comes in the mail?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Visit inside Old Quebec and Montreal's Old City... {on Pg. 48-55}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Enjoy a tribute to Tasha Tudor... {on Pg. 18-19}

And I think this picture of her, is one of my favorites... I think it's in one of her books, where she says that old houses remind her of a cozy chipmunk's nest. Love that!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And now, the heat of summer will return! Betcha'! Because I'm "getting into" Autumn. >,-)

Isn't that the way it goes? We come to terms with the inevitability of the end of something. And what happens? It comes back again.

I don't know whether I'm glad about that... Or sad... But I'd better not be sad, because there's nothing I can do about it! :-)

Did you ever... ?

Did you ever read something, and it jumped out at you? And it "said" to you; "Point me out to others!"? Well, I just did that. Someone new came by and made a comment in my entry of yesterday. So naturally, I visited with her. She being Terri of {click on Red words, please} Home At Last Farm blog.

And her entry, which jumped out at me, is her May 9 entry, titled {click on Red words, please} A Public Service Message. It's simply something which everyone should know. 'Nuff said.

And thank you Terri! Of course, that needs to be said too! :-)

The little pond... A kind of a pretty shot of it, I think... :-)

~~~***~~~

Old English Roses, waiting to be planted. Well, they are on their way to being planted, as I now write. I told husband that he'd better get planting them! Or 'My Ladies' would be "on his case," to do so! ,-) Of course he wants to plant them! But he was trying to decide the exact spots for them... :-) He's now out getting 'Moo Doo,' to put in the holes he dug, for them. They will begin here, with a "tasty meal." :-)

New growth coming on the Hydrangeas {I hope I got that name right!} out front. He doesn't dare trim anything, until he is sure what's really dead. And what's going to sprout, after all.

~~~***~~~

Book update ~ I'm about half way through 'The Host' now. And I repeat, it is so, so different from her Twilight series. Which is good. It shows she can write more, than only one theme...

Sunday

A cup of Decaf and a thick slice of homemade bread, with some butter and some Peanut Butter on it... Mmmmmm, yummy way to start the day. :-)


Tracks in the snow... I think the big ones, are a bunny. Not sure about the small ones.
A bird maybe...

More lovely pages from March/April 'Victoria'

Pretty picture, to ease into a not-so-pretty subject... My issues with Google blocking me out of blogging. At first I couldn't figure out how Google could do this. I don't use Gmail here. I use Blogger, to blog. I only use Google for my Google Reader. Then it dawned on me! Is Blogger owned by Google? Sure enough! It is! So this is how Google can keep doing this to me! Grrrrr...

More pretty 'Victoria'

-sigh- Needless to say, I am looking into this matter ~ Of blogging, so that Google can not keep doing this to me. Also needless to say, if I find another way, I will "leave a trail of crumbs" here, so that anyone who wants to, can follow me. This is not a move to be made quickly, or without study and trial. Which I'm in the process of doing.

More pretty 'Victoria'

Also needless to say, I well remember the issues which some ladies had, when they tried to delete their Blogger blogs. To refresh your memory, please read here and here. Read and weep. So naturally, I will NOT ever delete anything in Blogger. Whether I find another blogging home, or not.
******
Perhaps this issue has been solved by Blogger. I don't know. But I will not take a chance, that it has been solved/fixed, or not. Or that it stays solved/fixed. I will not delete any Blogger blogs.

More pretty 'Victoria'

Happy rest of Sunday, to you all...
