Thought it was time to check myself in again.  
It is officially Autumn and the leaves are starting to change.  
I always start to sing "the Autumn Leaves".
The beauty of the red, orange and gold are coming into focus. 
This was our time of year.....Not too hot, but not the cold of winter months either.  Spring is nice, but you have the chill of the transposing winter air still in rising.
Fall is always the time to reflect on where we have been for the past year, before the hype of the holidays to come.
I look out my window and I dread the thought of all the leaves I will have to rake.  It seems each year, there are more and more.
I may just pull a Maxine and wait and let the wind blow them into my neighbors yard and let her deal with them.
Oh how un-neighborly that would be.
Last year we did not rake at all and how embarrassing that was!
No, I will force myself to rake the yards at some time.
I have been enjoying the pictures people have been posting from their journeys to the mountains and even just around their own home stomping grounds.
Wishful that I will be able to contribute from my own life tales.  
If not, please know I do have a very wicked imagination.
You Will be seeing more of ME in days ahead.

Yes, there are so many colors in my rainbow.
Each and every day I start with the" bright blessed day" and end with "the dark sacred night."
It is all the colors that I deal with between that illuminate my world.


The beams that greet me from my dear, sweet puppy (who is actually 12 years old) each and every morning shows me the unconditional  colors of love we all crave.
This love is bright and beautiful as she waits for me to start our day.
Even as she waits for me to go pee before she gets to go outside. (No, this is not the yellow of my world).


Colors abound as I greet the day.  The beauty of the sunrise and the colors it sends across the yard.  The trees, the flowers, and even the grass set a stage for my day.


The people I deal with throughout my day bring in all the other colors.The gloomy co-worker brings in the shades of gray, grouchy that he even has to be out and about.
The girl with the sweetest giggle brings the rays of gold.  One of the people you look forward to seeing each day.
Minute by minute, day by day......Colors swirl around me.
