Summer is Gone

Plus a Funny Story From Jesse

 

 

One beautiful morning last week, the sunrise drew me outside.

 

 

 

 

I loved the long morning shadows on our leaf-covered yard.

 

 

The sun caused our hickory leaves to look prettier than usual.

 

 

I also noticed the sun glistening 0n a shepherd’s hook that holds a bird feeder.

 

 

As I looked for signs of fall, I noticed an abandoned bird nest under the eaves of our shed. The birds will be back again next spring.

 

 

The ferns in our woods are no longer young and green.

 

 

…and today is grey as we await a predicted snow storm.

A snowstorm! I thought fall is still young.

Jesse was here for a few hours today while his mom attended to some business. I wish I had taken a picture of what happened when he was here, but these will have to do.

We have this brown, soft hassock, which is usually in our living room. Jesse loves to roll on it and play with it. The other week, I moved it to the man cave, because the guys are always looking for pillows and soft things to use to prop up their feet or to lay on.

I was in the living room working on my laptop when Jesse walked in holding the hassock. He held it up, looked at me like he was quite upset, then shook it in my face and said, “Can you tell me who moved this to the cave man” (his name for man cave)?

I replied that I had done it so the guys could use it. He didn’t seem amused – but Cerwin and I sure were.  I guess he thought the hassock is his.
