Fall in My World

Full fall comes in November here in Tennessee, somewhat later than our Northern friends, but still beautiful and breathtaking.
I love the play of light coming through the trees.

Rich and warm, Indian summer is a frequent visitor here.
The hills are a riot of color.

The view down our driveway

Evening shadows moving in.

Still kissed by the Sun at the tops.

The Start of Fall

Soft, quiet mornings with the fog- looking down my driveway
The side roads look so inviting with the fog
What vistas lay around the bend?
Round hay bales in the fog with Kudzu draped fence
The beautiful backroads of rural Tennessee

The Raccoon Family & Some Deer

The bandits in a view from my bathroom window.
Mother and her 3 offspring at the base of one of the birdfeeders. We keep baffles on the feeders to deter raccoons and squirrels.
On the move...
First time I've seen one do this!
View from our living room window of the backyard
He has since shed the velvet off his rack
The doe that has two fawns this year.
The twins

Charlie~Sleep Softly Sweet Friend

Dancing ribbons pushed by time,
Float through an old kitten's dream.
She chases them into eternity,
And catches them, As they change into Angel's wings.




Charlie 1992 - August 28th, 2009
Our hearts are broken. Carter had his friend the vet come to the house late yesterday afternoon to put her to sleep. Kidney disease comes on so quickly and is so deadly. We buried her next to her best friend Jeckle who passed in 2007.
She loved us both, her friends and to do nothing more than play. We never thought she would leave us so quickly.
Erica's Song
Go joyously into the spirit and summerland of youth,
Glory once again in your strength. Run free amid the wildflowers.
Sniff the tantalizing smells among the wooded tangles of the forest. Sleep in the warm sun beside murmuring brooks. And when you weary of the green hills and fields of Rainbow Bridge, follow the bright strand - forged of love which connects us.
It leads to the garden of my soul where a warm welcome always awaits your coming.

Beautiful summer day on the farm

Clouds moving in and out

Beautiful summer pastures
More clouds going by
Down the lane near our house
