Autumn But for the Dogs

Autumn decorating this year will be kept to a minimum 

because of these guys.

Just look at these cute little 4 1/2-month-old faces!

These brothers like to chew and play with anything

that half-way tempts them. That means anything

within their reach!  (See the corner of the mat?)

They really are good little boys and they are learning...

What they haven't learned yet is staying out of the

dirty small pond which they were in before the above pic.

They don't get to come inside when they've been in that pond.

They haven't figured that out yet either.

Thanks for visiting.

Tomorrow is the first day of October and

with it brings the official color of Orange.

Are we ready?

Fondly,

Beginnings of Autumn

This Autumn, after a 28-hour and three-day drive,

I have relocated myself to Kansas.

Although I have been to Kansas many times,

this will be my first time experiencing a beautiful

changing of the season that I hear so much about.

Driving through the countryside, I am seeing signs

of Summer fading and Autumn approaching.

The hay has been baled and sits drying in fields.

 

 The fields of sunflowers are fading as their

beautiful faces no longer look to the sun but begin to 

face downward as they turn to seed.

The soybeans are turning yellow as their seed pods

on their tops turn brown.  I think I heard soybeans

are grown in the Midwest for fuel.

Even the corn has turned brown as I peek

through the roadside wildflowers.

What I am truly looking forward to are the leaves

changing on the trees and foliage.

As you can see, on this last day of September,

I am seeing just glimpses of what I am told

will be spectacular and I can't wait!

Thank you for visiting!

Fondly,

~Karen
