For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Good morning to all of you on this cloudy and somewhat wet Monday morning which is also rather cool making it good weather for sitting indoors and looking outdoors with a cup of coffee which is something I should probably be doing but it is not what is actually happening since this is my day for shopping and I need to get out and do this shopping today since some things I need to get today because I am out of these things such as my pain medication which makes it necessary to go out in this cool wet weather even though I would prefer to stay at home and enjoy my coffee a little bit longer but such is not the case so I will dress warm and head out shortly to shop and do a few other things that also need to be done today.

I like that old house surrounded by the trees.
It has been a long time since I had a nice long opening sentence. So I just had to do it. I have done longer ones. But this one is not bad. Weather like this certainly does make it feel, and look, like fall. It was quite windy yesterday and leaves were falling all over the place.

A far off hillside turning yellow and orange.
That is unfortunate since they are just getting to the point of looking nice. Now a lot of trees are bare already. But there are more trees just getting started on the color change so hopefully there will be some good photo opportunities yet.

Same hillside.
But I thought it would be nice to show a few early photos anyway. Kind of brightens up the day. I hope you enjoy them. Well, it is almost time for me to head out shopping, I hope you all have a great Monday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Yes indeed, it is autumn and pics looking out from my window. I like the new place, but there are lots of changes to deal with. But I’m sure it will work out good for us. I don’t have everything put away yet, but it’s getting close.😊😺🍁🍂☕☕

No more feeding birds or other critters. No more photography except for a few pics from my window. Just Muffin and me playing together! We do have lots of fun though. Guess I will have to try and find a new hobby of some kind. Have a good night Simon! Wait, have a good day Simon!😊🌞💤💤

Half of our trees have already lost their leaves now, but there are still nice colors around. Oddly, some trees are still nice and green. Glad you enjoyed the pics!😊😺🍁🍂☕☕

Yes, fall has come in a big way and the colors are almost gone now. They come and go so fast some years! But it has been a nice month for temperatures, but still a lot of rain. It has been a very rainy summer for us and it continues into fall.😊😺☕☕🍁🍂

Oh ! Here in Quebec September was fairly dry compare to the rest of the summer. The leaves are starting to fall more, but I think we’ll still have leaves in the trees til at least Mid-October.

Here the rain is coming back later this week. But it’ll be good here because we had a very dry month of September.
