First Snow Fall

The End Of The Tour Soundtrack - Here (Tindersticks)

I love this movie, watched it maybe 7 times already.  

Idk, just something about it and this song...I really like this song.  

Veterans Park

Tanya -- Fall Walk

What I saw on my fall walk today.   No colors of the season here at all.   Very green. 

Finding me on Columbus Day MaryFran

I have been struggling as I try to find my identity.....one that isn't just me out there trying to be the 'super wife' by doing everything.  It took so much of my time and became who I was.  

I've struggled with picking up my camera....it was my sole source of comfort for years and it has been almost a return to the pain when I've picked it up recently.  So I was kinda shocked today when I had the idea to take a camera with me.  I didn't even know if my batteries were charged for any of my cameras (So I took a few cameras.)  I din't get anything spectacular....but I got out there and at least did something towards finding myself on fantastic (weather at least) Columbus Day!

A fall day. Maryfran

I had the day off so I headed out to geocache.  Geocaching is my new hobby.  It's relatively free and takes me to places that I may normally never visit or think about.     Today we ended up trekkng through the woods quite a bit.  There were some huge mushrooms!!!!

Tanya -- Tree

Tree in front of my house.  Very very green here!!  I'm counting on you other ladies to show me some colors of fall. 

Tanya -- Thorn Bush

The bush from hell!!! I have no idea what this is but it has thorns on it bigger than roses.  This was after Shawn cut it back (the vines were in the eves troughs on top of the house) and he mowed over the clippings after getting tons of scratches on his legs.  It hasn't been cut since we've been here and we've been in this house for four months now. 

Tanya Backyard 2

Another of my backyard.   This time standing from the fence.  It's not a big yard but it will do.  It only takes about 30 min. to cut the grass as all the grass in the front of the house is pretty much dead. 

Tanya -- Backyard 1

My backyard from my patio.   Notice NO color of fall.   Everything here is just green all year round. 

Webb's

Noah being silly. 

Brossman's

By the butcher in Caledonia. 

Trim

Still in need of finding a new person to do my hair. Til then I bounce around. 

My Fortune

Going Down

Wonder how the crewman felt who was let go before the Titanic set sail, felt after it sank?

Charlie Brown

Happy October, Charlie Brown!!

Did you know:  

Charlie Brown

• FIRST APPEARANCE: October 2, 1950
• “Good ol’ Charlie Brown” is the lovable loser in the zig-zag t-shirt—the kid who never gives up (even though he almost never wins). He manages the world’s worst baseball team…yet shows up for every game. He can’t muster the courage to talk to the Little Red-Haired girl…yet keeps hoping. Even though he gets grief from his friends, his kite-eating tree, even his own dog, Charlie Brown remains the stalwart hero.http://www.peanuts.com/characters/charlie-brown/#.VhVBLPlViko

We're Not in Kansas, or Are We?

Tigger chilling on the couch.  Watching me from above.  Kinda freaky thing for a cat to do.

Bowled Over

Tanya -- Landscaping

Did some landscaping in front of my house last weekend.  You can see the sidewalk now.  I'm sure in about two weeks I'll have to get the clippers out again. 

Tanya -- Hunting

Hunting is fall, right?  Here's a few pictures at the new Bass Pro Shop that Shawn and I checked out last week.  Even though I'm not outdoorsy at all, I really enjoyed looking around. 

The Wall

If my heart was a photo. This is how it would look. 

Magic Moment

Photo at the moment when I realized I believe in the magic again.  Reflecting now, interesting day. 

Tanya

No picture.  I'm hoping for LOTS of fall photos from you guys.  I miss the colors of fall and the change of the seasons. 

The Blonde Blog?

Ha!  I just was thinking that most of us are blonde.  Darcy, why don't you go blonde too...lol, then we could change the name of the blog.  ;)  

Nah, nah, it's fine the way it is!  

Welcome to yet another seasonal blog, 2015-2016, designed to help us get over the severe bite of cold weather and dreaded winter.   Booooooooooooooooo.  

So, to the reader, I hope you enjoy our randomness.  Cuz, it's gonna be very random, I'm thinking.   And, to my blogmates, lots of love girls and look forward to supporting your fun and sad times, shared here, all the wonderful ideas and thoughts for and during the holidays.  

Now, where's my sweater?  Let's get Autumn started.  

Starting off the season with a bang! (Maryfran)

I'll start the fun with my new hair...ok old hair but the roots fixed!!!

I've realized recently that I need to love myself now....fat (fluff) and all!!!   And that means treating myself and taking care of myself!!!!!    I am worth it.   WE are all worth it!

Nice words

Hotel California

Still waiting...
