After five days of rain and gray skies, we got this strip of sunshine at the horizon about sunset.
It cast a golden glow on almost all the trees.
On the pines in the front of the house.
On the trees at the edge of the woods just down the road.
Oh the shop/garage. I love seeing this , the shadow line at the bottom , is from the fence.
At the same time as I was taking my pictures, my daughter Angie sent me a photo of the tall trees across from her house. This is a preview of a golden fall.
Daughter Kathy sent this from her walk, some golden leaves already on the ground.
Mums here are budding and blooming.
I really need to get outside and start trimming back on some things as it's been in the 60's...can you even believe that. After those scorching 80's and 90's.
Let us remember today, all those hurt, killed, and broken heart from 9-11. Also please send good thoughts and prayers to everyone in the path of the hurricanes. Be safe everyone. XO
Hi Susie! Lovely fall color! It's coming, isn't it? Yay!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. I am thankful for a cool down for a few days. Wow, our summer was the hottest I can remember. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteBeautiful Fall pictures, my favorite time of the year....but not too excited about what follows....snow and cold.
ReplyDeleteLouise, The thought so winter makes want summer to go on and on. LOL. I do not like winter much. I lobe the holidays and fun time...but not the cold and snow. LOL Hope you are doing well. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie, It is getting close to my favorite time of the year. I have enjoyed catching up with you this morning. Enjoy the time that you spend with family. Have a great day. Hugs and prayers from your Missouri Friend Shirley
ReplyDeleteShirley, I know that you appreciate family times. I do too. Our children are only young once, as we were once. I hate missing out on things like seeing the babies first steps ..Luke is walking now. We need this cooler weather after our hot summer. I just pray winter will be kind. Blessing to you, xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteThe light of the sunset makes everything glow! Beautiful scene. I have a son in VA, I hope he doesn't get flooding from Florence. Yes, praying for those who lost loved ones on 9/11 and those having to evacuate now from the hurricane. I'm enjoying the cooler mornings!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I will pray for your son. I just hate the thought of all that rain. It's bad enough with the storm hitting . I pray it goes out to sea. This morning was chilly. :):) Autumn is so close...can't believe a week of Sept. is gone already. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
Deletewithout the rain....right, we always have to remember all the wonderful things the rain brings us!!
ReplyDeleteit is still gray, gloomy and raining here in new jersey, knitting weather and i could not be happier about that!!
these images, every single one, is beautiful!!!
I was hoping for rain almost all spring and summer. Then it all comes at once .LOL. Be safe if you are on the coast. I think it will be nasty all around. We are having a beautiful sunny day and pleasant temps. Loving this. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie,
ReplyDeleteYour colors are starting to change fast. Ours are beginning on some of the trees. I hope you are having this beautiful weather we are having this week. 70's and sunshine all week long. Cool 60's at night. Great for sleeping. Loving this weather. Wish it could stay like this year around. Just beautiful.
xoxo
Kris
Kris, The past two days have been the best. The sun came out just in time.:):) The gold color in the trees was just the sun making it that color, everything is still green, just lightened I am still behind with my summer chores. :( Blessings, xoxo,love, Susie
DeleteSusie, your photos are just beautiful. Such happy picture. Yes, remembering those today who lost loved ones. Husbands and wives who never came home that day. Children who grew up without one of their parents. Parents who lot a son or daughter. The brave responders. God bless and comfort those who are hurting.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, We saw a special on TV about the people who are suffering from lung cancers, and other problem from all the stuff in the air from the twin towers falling. So scary...the pain just goes on and on. We have to pray for their health and peace in their lives. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour pictures really capture Fall. I love the sunshine and the shadow it cast on the house is really cool! Your daughters are a chip off the ol' block, taking pictures and sending them to you just as you are taking pictures as well. Today is definitely a day of remembrance even at the gym where I go the whole workout was about 911. 2001 meter row and 9 sets of 11 of everything we did. It was actually kinda cool.
ReplyDeleteSaimi, Your gym was giving tribute, how nice. It was a horrible thing , 9-11...and we are still trying to heal. I love that my daughters think like me, when it comes to loving nature. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh my gosh what amazing photos, beautiful! That storm is really gaining strength,, very scary! 9/ 11 , so many hearts still broken,, it certainly has changed our world hasn’t it,
ReplyDeleteLaurie, I remember feeling stunned from the attacks...so painful to see the horror . Later we visited the memorials and it's still shocking, it all comes back. I pray they can have peace in their hearts. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love the golden hour for photos...oh so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLinda, It was just even clear skies at the horizon. I needed that sunset. LOL. Gray days weigh me down, if there's too many of them in a row. Blessings to you for a great week. So far it it's good. Our east coast needs our prayers. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteBeautiful photos.... I love the early signs of fall :-) Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Jill
Thank you Jill. I think we are all kind of ready for fall now...it was one mean hot summer. LOL Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteEverything looks so pretty in Gods spot light. I love the orange glow of the trees in the 6th photo.
ReplyDeleteLisa
Lisa, What was great, all those trees are still green...the sun made them gold. Love that. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo many beautiful pictures Susie! I love the brightness and glow of these pictures. I'm trying to enjoy these days because the Carolinas are preparing for Hurricane Florence. I don't stay near the coast, so I don't have to evacuate. I hope you're having a great week!
ReplyDeletePilar, Please be safe . The rain amounts is as scary at the hurricane. Things will flood. I am praying the storm will go back to the sea and not hang on. Blessings to you and your family. xoxo, Susie
DeleteThanks Susie! It's calm outside right now, but we had heavy winds and rain earlier today. I wrote on my blog the other day about what's been going on and I'll have another update probably tomorrow on the blog as well. Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteThese pretty pictures sure remind me of Fall! Definetly can see it coming! Thank you for the prayers, Susie, that means so much as Hurricane Florence approaches and begins to bear down on us. It's a scary thing when you know it's coming........
ReplyDeleteDebbi, I know our fall is so near and we are starting to see the colors.
DeleteI am praying for all of you there. Please be safe during this storm . I will keep praying the storm goes back out to sea. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Beautiful pictures and I look forward to seeing some Fall colors and cooler temps:) Have a blessed day, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteTheresa, I hope it cools down for you. We have had two really nice days . Actually almost cold real early in the morning. We have lots of mature trees here, but none with the pretty fall colors. One Maple turns yellow. Most turn brown and make ugly leaf piles. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThe golden season. It's just beautiful, Susie.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie. I was amazed at how pretty everything looked with just a bit of sunset . I love how God makes things take our breath away. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWe Remember xx oo
ReplyDeleteI love the photos you shared. I think we will have a great color year. Our Autumn colors are starting to pop.
Thank you for the prayers for Sam and our family. And for me. I appreciated your words.
Carla, I just feel fall is so close. I hope it is a pleasant long one and that winter stays away for some time. LOL Not ready for that. Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh my how pretty and they capture Fall in all it's splendor. We're no where near nay Fall colors yet but I'm waiting patiently and praying for all in the path of that storm. Hope you have more dry, beautiful days ahead. hugs, xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Susie. I am praying for your state and everyone along the eats coast. Too much rain is being predicted. Scary rains. We had a nice day today also. I hope our fall is nice temps and beautiful colors. Blessings to you, love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat pretty pictures, Susie! It looks like Fall is off and running there already. We have hot humid weather again this weekend but then it is supposed to cool down.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well- finally have internet again!!!! xo Diana
Hooray for internet. Diana, We do not have fall colors yet...that was the sunset making everything look golden. So pretty. two days of nice temperatures here. Hope all is going well there for you and yours. Blessings, xoxo,love , Susie
DeleteOh my goodness, it DOES look so fallish there! But who doesn't love fall, right? I found some really nice looking mums with tons of buds at Aldi for $2.99 each. Can't beat that price. Now I need to go plant them. Thinking of those on the coast and keeping an eye on Florence, along with everyone else. May they be safe!
ReplyDeleteJudy, Such a good buy on mums. I some times buy little pots of mums just for decorating the porch for fall...if they are real cheap. I never make jack -o-lanterns so the pumpkins can last longer. I need to see if my daughter has a pumpkin from her garden for me. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWow, what great photos!! Yep...fall is rushing in, isn't it? I can't believe how the leaves are changing colors! Hope all is well with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Gert
Thank you Gert. I love time with my family, just as you do. I wish I had sugar maples in my yard, they make the prettiest fall colors. Blessings, xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteI'm a little behind on my correspondence. Love your photos. We have not seen any signs of fall yet. Too warm, too much rain. Enjoy your weekend
ReplyDeleteThank you Missy. I remember our trips thru your beautiful sate. It was beautiful clear through during fall. I think when if fall in the mountains it's extra pretty. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteNo real signs of fall here in our part of Texas other than cooler temps...I need a pot of Mums....
