Not even normal...

Here we are, past the middle of October, and ninety-nine
percent of the leaves on the trees are still green.
Not complaining, mind you. 

Here we are, past the middle of October, and ninety-nine
percent of my Christmas shopping is done.
Not complaining, mind you.

Here we are, past the middle of October, and the sun is shining 
and the windows are open to a warm breeze.
Not complaining, mind you.

Here we are, past the middle of October, and ninety-nine
percent of the baseball season is over and the Cleveland Indians

Not complaining, mind you.

I couldn't fit that forth verse into the same format as the three
verses before it.
Guess I'll complain about that.

 

aaaaaaaaaaand it's October....

Whatthehell happened to September?

Having too much fun to keep track?

Too busy to pay attention?

The leaves are doing their annual color-burst show.

I really, really love Fall. How 'bout you?

the last of the leaves...

Thank you, Jennifer, for letting me share
your beautiful photos with my friends.

more Autumn hiking...

Autumn hiking in Ohio...

I wish I could take credit for these photos.
Alas, I wasn't even in the neighborhood.
My sister, Ann, goes hiking with one
of her co-workers, Jennifer, through the
wilds of Summit County. Jen took these
photos and graciously gave me permission
to share them with all of you.

Fall color in Ohio...

My best friends in Florida just got back
from visiting their home town of Burton, Ohio.
(No, the scarecrow is not one of them, silly.)

Perfect timing for seeing the beautiful fall colors.















Damn, I miss this.
