Early Voting

 

Today was the first day of early voting here in Tennessee.  It was a beautiful day to vote---and I did.

Backyard Walktober

Marlee heard me talking about lovely Princess Katie at Change is Hard joining Robin at https://breezesatdawn.wordpress.com/ who is hosting her annual Walktober.  Of course, Marlee thinks she's a princess too, and wanted to join in.  Our Walktober, for now, is in our backyard.  We may gather photos from longer walks next week.

We are experiencing breathtaking weather this last couple of weeks.  The days have been drenched in sunlight and blue skies and leaves changing colors before our eyes.  The slant of the sunlight through the trees has that distinct difference to it.  It's like no other season's light.  And night draws inky blankets over the day earlier each day, with stars on stunning display.  Lamps are lit and blinds are drawn.  Thoughts turn to gourds and pumpkins, Mums and Jack-o-Lanterns, flannel sheets on the bed and snuggly quilts.  

With leaves turning and starting to drop, can you believe that there is a violet (Johnnie Jump Up) in bloom in the back yard on October 8, 2020?  I have never seen this before.  Curiouser and curiouser.
