Taking our morning walk,
Lazy & I are noticing the subtle changes occurring ever so quietly here...
there is a 'feeling' in the air ~
the faint scent of things-to-come....
yes, that would be AUTUMN!!
 |
| c'mon boy ~ let's go for a walk! |
Our walks aren't hurried.
they are purposely slow and mindful...
...exercising the soul more than the body.
I stop many times to breathe, admire and ponder ~ and look for the beauty around me:
 |
| turkey feather |
 |
| goldenrod |
Our path leads us to the little graveyard that we take care of ~
where the Proffit family peacefully rests...
 |
| ancient stones & cedars |
 |
| beautiful resting place |
Near the headstones I find a small cache of beechnuts ~
looks like friend Squirrel has been busy...
 |
| tiny toadstools near a headstone |
 |
| twisted branches |
We can see changes to the trees.
mottled colors so vibrant against the green...
 |
| spotted leaf and another turkey feather |
Lazy is getting on in years, so we decide to turn and head back home...
 |
| shop in the distance |
 |
| another beautiful decaying leaf |
we stop for a moment to check the pumpkins:
they've begun to turn ~
and finally reach our farmhouse front porch~
W E L C O M E
Welcome A U T U M N indeed!!
