a random autumn afternoon

I have seen some of the most beautiful autumn photos in blog posts of late,
full of perfect arrangements, vibrant colors, so fun to look at.

The ones I am posting today are just an afternoon when the weather warmed up for a few hours and I was able to sit on my deck and read for a bit.

a quiet place that was so busy just a few weeks ago


an interesting book loaned to me by a friend


a pool covered and ready for winter


metal furniture soon to be stored in the shed


a peek through the neighbor's porch at leaves beginning to turn
(can you tell we live across the street from a college campus)


a gardening husband trying to get a few more weeks out of his potted plants


soon we will be shoveling snow from this patio to get to the bird feeder

  1. I enjoy the leaves scattered on the ground and patio. It definitely is the beginning of Fall.
    Enjoy your deck!

  4. I agree with Dee Dee...I am not ready for snow yet! We had the most beautiful fall day here in Pa! Your deck looks like a great place to enjoy a good book! You'll have to let us know if you would recommend it.

  5. We don't fear snow here, thank the Lord. I love the falling leaves though. Your place is lovely.

  6. It is still in the 80's here in California... waiting for the cooler weather. I really like the view of the college and the trees turning golden and red.

  7. Oh my, how much snow do you get each winter?
    I had a cousin who lived in Erie and I know every winter she was crying to come home. We only recieve maybe 11-12 inches over the whole season.
    Bummer, because I love the snow.

    But winter? We can skip winter.
