It's that time of year when it's finally cooler and there may be some lovely leaves on the trees as the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer. It's a lovely time of year in North Alabama. This morning we even "gained" a hour as it was time to "Fall Back" with our clocks.
Speaking of change of seasons, now that it's cooler, it was time to put away the shorts and sports bra in favorite of yoga pants and a sweatshirt over a t-shirt. Here is a look at what I get to see on my 6-8 mile daily walk.
The people in this house go all out each year with their Halloween decorations, adding more scenes each year. No other house in my large neighborhood comes close to these decorations.
It makes me smile as I go flying by:

I love seeing wildlife on my walks. Rabbits, chipmunks, lots of squirrels, the occasional fox and these:
 |
| Great Blue Heron |
 |
| Canadian Geese |
The Canadian Geese are starting to fly in formation, honking loudly, as they plan to leave for the winter. What a sight!
I don't do much decorating myself, just a few things in the house:
The patchwork pumpkins were made by my dear friend Judy Murrah. I miss her all the time but especially in October, her birthday month and the month we were sure to be together again each year.

I do change out the quilts on our bed to my favorite "winter" quilts:
 |
Foothills on the wall, Western Sun on the bed, and Pieces of the Past at the foot of the bed--you can see I am fond of Flying Geese

As the days get shorter, I will find a new hand sewing project to have by my cozy chair. Not sure yet what it will be...
Let's quilt.
