Weekend & Winter


Queen Anne Skeletons

Autumn is about to come to a screeching halt here in the mountains.
Tomorrow is predicted to be unseasonably cold with a chance of snow flurries!
I'm not ready for a high of 35. Guess it doesn't really matter if I'm prepared or not, it's coming.

Our weekend was a great mix of spending time outdoors, as well as, at home.
Saturday we went to the 35th annual Balloonfest,
which you'll hear/see more about this week.


Today, we stayed within the confines of our home.
The early part of the day was spent re-watching some old movies,
and the rest of the afternoon was spent cleaning up the dining room & kitchen.
Afterwards, we played a game of Scrabble on the table we cleared off while cleaning.
I was even able to cook dinner while we were playing our game - Cody helped too.

This weekend definitely went by way too quickly........
then again, I say that every weekend!

I LOVE this photo! The contrast of the practically black and white, faded Queen Anne's lace flower against the amazing yellow, I guess sunny background, is wonderful. This one could sell to stock houses, perhaps. Just wonderful. At least frame a print!

Ahh... a glimpse of this tells the season. Love the colors.

Beautiful colors. Sounds like we had similar weekends. I even took a stroll in our back field to find some shots with morning dew and low rising sun. Yours is much better! Have a great Monday.

Really love this photo!

Cathy said...

I love the colors in that photo! Our weekend went too fast, too. I do feel like I got some things done.

Lovely seed heads. We too are experiencing temps of 35+ but Centigrade. Autumn, Winter and Spring forgot to rain and we are already having searing winds off the desert and no water reserves.
Drought kills gardens more permanently than frost.

Beautiful shot!! Winter is definitely on its way.

MaryAnn Ashley said...

The image captures whats coming in the weather so well. Glad you had a great weekend. We did too. We tried to get our family photos for the holidays done...

Honey Mommy said...

I'm not ready for winter either. It seems the leaves are rapidly dropping here, leaving naked trees in their place.

J.H said...

the yellow tone really reflect autumn so much. Another amazing snaps!

Technodoll said...

We must have the same weekends and the same freezing snowy temps on the way. Hmm. Kinda like a twilight zone, eh? LOL!

What was for dinner?

Good luck at the dentist! & I'll post our Christmas photo in December... the kids were crazy when we had our family photoshoot... CRAZY!

Arnold Layne said...

This is truly a beautiful shot. The flowers look almost as if they're wrinkled with time, age and wisdom, and I love how you captured the blurred, honey colored background.

littlepurplecow said...
