I don’t usually like sudden change.
But some changes are forever amazing.
Overnight a giant Red Maple that has never been red,
turned a brilliant shimmering gold.
Why, it was green yesterday. I know it was green.
But there she is quietly shouting,

Autumn’s Arrival
No!
It simply cannot be closing in on Halloween again.
For Heaven’s Sake, it was just summer!
Still, there have been unmistakable signs.
How about falling leaves and a little nip in the air?
Or whole aisles of Halloween Candy at the supermarket?
Yes – Something is amiss.
Virginia’s had an unusually cool summer –
cooler than California I wager.
Oh, I do love Autumn in Virginia!
But is it really time to post Pumpkin Pictures
or my yearly Witch Warnings?

I love how the landscape changes with every passing season but this year we are at “high speed.” I was just getting used to autumn when the heavens said, “NO!”

A Week of Random Ramblings
One night Bill and I went to see Wuthering Heights performed at our local university theater of the arts. Occasionally we get out at night like that. I should have taken “night” pictures but forgot in the excitement over seeing city lights and other real people.
They have Cream Cheese Jalapeno Burgers here!
On Wednesday we drove to Harrisonburg to take our grandgirl out for lunch and a stop at Costco! At her suggestion, we dined at Jack’s local hamburger joint where oddly enough, that’s all Jack served – hamburgers.
Bill ordered a plain one in spite of a wide variety of options including a “Peanut Butter Burger!” And Kendall and I got Cream Cheese and Jalapeno Jelly Burgers! Costco is always fun too but seems Enormous to us country bumpkins.
Thursday was dedicated to Getting-Ready-for-Winter.
At our house that means moving out summer clothes and moving in winter. Somehow sandals don’t work well anymore in these cooler Fall temps. But I am loathe to store away the new sparkly ones that make my feet look 17 years old. The object today was to accommodate cooler weather, but the object remained elusive and the sandals still sparkle in the closet.
I did manage to go Monday and Friday to the gym! And now increasing “footage” (walking), though nowhere near goal. Today, due to the energy giving qualities of a new vitamin, and the usual self imposed mental delusion that I am an energetic 17 year old, I set out in earnest. Never made it to the gym, but…..
Hoping to find apples, there was a farmer’s market at the Virginia Horse Center. No apples, but lots of honey! Honey is my next recommendation for hoarding. And as long as I was there, I did a little walking around the horse center and watched young people jumping things and a very graceful horse and buggy team. Lovely!
I have determined that walking is a good thing. You never know what you will stumble on.
Late as usual but this was a week of random ramblings gone by and it was a good week after all.
