Fall is Leaving

The sun has just about set on Fall here. We still have some lingering foliage in brilliant burgundies and yellows, and even this morning the sun lit a tree outside my bedroom window and the color was sheer pink - so happy I took the time to glance out and ponder the beauty of our first frost and the beautiful sunrise.
It does seem that I am particularly introspective right now; in slow motion; yet fully functional. Strange place but it is OK. I think my body and psyche are recovering from a lot of recent highs, and adjusting beforehand to the time change coming this week. Plan is to just sit within this feeling, and see what is revealed. Living with 4 distinct seasons seems to be another form of exercise, at least for one's spirit, and that can only be healthy.

LM is not feeling well - he claims it is shingles - and my pleas to see his physician have so far gone unheeded. He had a very painful night last night and promised he would make an appointment today. We shall see. Perhaps his body is reacting in a different way.

Meanwhile, he was busy in the kitchen yesterday morning when he snapped this photo of Ms G spying at him through a very large jade plant which sits on a table by the back door. She is such a character! We brought the plant in just in time last week, as we've now had a heavy frost.
Love this girl!

Fall is just about peak on Long Island right now... I always feel November is the most beautiful year since it entwines autumn and winter together :)

Hope Lou feels better; Ms G looks adorable! ♥

What a darling photo! lol I hope Lou goes to the doctor! There is medicine to help that, esp. when caught early! I woke up to a light rain this morning. It was to turn to snow, but I think it's too warm. It's 41. Have a great day my friend. ...debbie
