As I look around right now all I see are leaves on the ground. They are lovely and yellow, they crunch when I walk through them, and they have a distinctive musky-sweet smell that I would know anywhere.

Enjoy the sights and sounds and smells this weekend, friends.

Our fall colors are just about done. In fact, I’m pretty sure every leaf in our yard fell last Wednesday! I’m still photographing and documenting, though, as you can see from this photo I took at my library at the end of last month. I do love those browns and oranges!

Happy Weekened, friends! I’ll see you back in this space tomorrow for some poetry.

This photo is from earlier in the month, before most of the leaves hit the ground. I love the contrast of the vibrant orange and rich green.

Speaking of contrast, last Friday we had snow and this Friday it feels like September. I know you know which one I prefer!

And I always prefer the weekend . . . make it a good one!

I saw this display outside a local shop and I had to snap a picture. I love the purple morning glories with those gorgeous pumpkins.

Blessed Samhain . . . or Happy Halloween for the muggles!

Sometimes you only have to go as far as your own backyard to find something lovely and seasonal. Golden hour helps, too.

Look for the lovely this weekend, friends. You know you’ll find it if you do.
