Fall is finally here!

Yes, it is that time of year when we get great exercise raking leaves...or I should anyway...I always have great expectations of helping my husband rake every year!  This picture is of a maple in my Dad's back yard next door... since we had most of our trees cut down this summer.  All old sickly pines that cost a fortune to get cut and hauled off. I could have taken them down myself when we first moved here with a steak knife.  But, wisdom is hindsight, and little old tree hugging me wouldn't let my husband take them down.  I felt the kids needed shade to play in to prevent them from getting skin cancer right! 

 Anyway, Dad's tree will turn the most pretty yellow orange I have ever seen soon!  I love the fall and what it represents to me.  I kinda think I am in the fall years of my life, if Winter is near the end of the life of course.  I'm not that old ...yet.  But, I do see myself as getting more colorful in my ways as I get older.  I have always been a brunet, then the gray hair started coming in faster than I could pluck, so I decided to go blonde.  After years of bleaching and now getting too old to care. I'm a shinny gray on top and kinda blonde a few inches down... not knowing exactly how one makes the change gracefully to gray...I'm a also few pounds heavier, not too many, but more than I feel comfortable with...so how did this happen??
I know it is just math with calories in and too many to burn, but I'm not eating as much as I did when I was 20 years younger.  Doctor says I need more exercise...I know...I know...but there just isn't enough time in my day for exercising with all the sewing projects I want to get done before winter gets here this year and in my life!  ;)

I'm back...

I have been busy adjusting to a new normal...but I'm ready to rejoin the world of the living again. More next time...
