Seeing Signs of Fall

It has been a short work week, but still we have been busy. We took off Monday for the Labor Day holiday, and the State had its second furlough day on Tuesday, which makes for a quiet day downtown with less traffic and few offices open. But, the rest of the week was business as usual. 

I, however have been dragging and ended up at the Dr's office on Thursday. My Dr. gave me two prescriptions, (Celebrex for the muscle aches and stiffness and Adivert for the dizziness), a steroid shot and of course an antibiotic. This makes round three of antibiotics. Add the new drugs to the two I already take daily (hormones and blood pressure) and that is enough to make your head spin. I feel like my Grandmother, when I am trying to remember which pill I am supposed to take at what time. They do seem to be helping and then today I had a massage. So as for now I am relaxed and able to function. 




After last night's rain the temperatures have dropped and it has been about 76 degrees for the day's high. It is so pleasant outside. I love it. I even got out side to snap a few photos of the rain drops on some of the shrubs and plants.








Soon these little berries will be a bright red and the leaves will turn a reddish brown.












The petals of the remaining flowers will fall and will cast their shadow on the wall no more.









My kitchen window will not be lined with fresh garden tomatoes. 
As you can see, their size is beginning to lessen as the vines are drying up from the heat of summer. 










Even the birds are beginning to change. I have noticed a few of the Yellow Finches are starting to loose the brightness of their feathers.










Mr. Cardinal is showing signs of molting in preparation for colder weather.







And I know my little Humming Bird friends will soon be flying south.










I will miss them, as I so enjoy watching them visit the feeders and chase one another around.
But, seasons change. And, I for one am ready for Fall, and I do so hope that it decides to linger awhile so that we may enjoy many cool pleasant days.

Fall Colors

Fall has definately arrived. I absolutely LOVE the colorfull changes in the trees.
I thought I would share a few pictures from the roads I drive everyday. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I know I have been enjoying the views while driving.




The first picture posted here is looking out my office window. Just a bit of color, but a reminder that it is indeed Fall.






This next picture is of a group of trees along Highway 526. This is the route I drive while taking Lindsey to school everyday.

I finally remembered to take my camera so that I could snap a picture.



The picture to the left is on Highway 185, which is the road that leads me home.
The trees provide a backdrop of beautiful scenery almost year round. Every season brings a different scene along the treelined hillside.



My last picture is my favorite of the ones posted here. It was taken on Richardsville Road. The mix of trees and the bright red bushes in teh yard on the right make a very pretty picture. At least I think so.....
