COME ON LET'S TAKE A WALK!

Be careful going down the hill as we take our walk....

Notice that the leaves are turning right before our eyes.

Such a beautiful painting of NATURE!

Now look very closely to your right.....

Yes you do see an "Owl" and a "Face"......that is a Hubby thing.....but the grandkids love it!

Let's go a little further down the hill.....watch out for turtles....they cross here a lot.

Oh....I see some beautiful yellow wild flowers....let's go check them out......do you know what they are?

"FOR YOU"

A beautiful bouquet for my dear sweet friends!

Beyond the fence is our neighbors farm.....

I guess we are ready to go back up the hill......

Hang in there.....I know it's harder going up than going down....

but we are almost there where we will sit a spell and rest our weary legs while we sip on some hot cocoa.

I hope you enjoyed our little walk today....please come back and we will do it again!

God Bless

Happy Monday!

Rain! Rain! Rain!

Yesterday the hubby & I drove towards East Tennessee to look at a tractor and I noticed the trees are starting to turn from green to a yellowish color......Yeah! Fall is just around the corner......love the cool crisp air every morning!

From www.sciencemadesimple.com
I don't know if they know this but this is not "science"....it's God's wonderful creative artwork!!!
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter.

During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. As the bright green fades away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.
The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in the fall. In some trees, like maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn cause the leaves turn this glucose into a red color. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.
It is the combination of all these things that make the beautiful fall foliage colors we enjoy each year.

BUSY DAY FOR ME....HOW ABOUT YOU?

I have been trying to catch up on some much needed outside work.

I prefer working outside in this 70-80 degree weather....seems I can get more done!

If my back holds out I might get it all done............

yeah right...........before winter hits.

Cleaning up flower beds.....they all need mulch!

Look what I found in one of the flower beds.....one of the Texas Grasshoppers....I thought they had all died out......usually we do not see them around this late in the year......I guess he or she likes it here!

 Sun-Bathing!

Thinks he/she is hiding from me!

Have never seen one of these......they grow about 4-6 inches long. They do look a little eerie but they are a very pretty critter!

Hope all of you have had a wonderful and productive Saturday!

God Bless
