A candle for Rusty & Rosabelle

Dec 6th - Rusty's birthday: Happy Birthday, Mom!
But also a day that a dear friend's mother left us: Happy Ever After, Rosabelle.

A dusting of snow!!


In mid-November, in my corner of the globe     

The lingering few flakes from last night's early snowfall in Charlotte, North Carolina

One morning in November




 Looking out the window

Can you spot Squirrel Nutkin and his brother? 


Some morning mist

Dreamy

Looking down the alleyway

 What is this? More morning mist?

At last, the sun is shining through

And the fall colors begin to pop

 Gorgeous!

There they are!

                                  Whew!

Farmer Robinson's Garage

Old garage and workshop that belongs to our next door neighbor.
Would love to rummage around inside there!

One crow says to another...

Clive, having a lookout for his friend Charlie


There you are, old boy! Got a joke for you. 
Why do hummingbirds hum? Because they don't know the words!

Signs of Autumn



 
The last Daylily

The last Rose

The last Dianthus

                                     :(


 But...


The first Chrysanthemum

And the always good-for-a-giggle...
   Spider Lily!

** I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE October!! **

Red Sky in the Morning...

A crimson glow bathes the early morning sky

Then quickly begins to dissipate

Upper Linville Falls

         A cool and refreshing oasis about 2 hours from 
                         My Corner of the Globe

Look, a totem!

The potter in my life has a whimsical side but there
are practical features to this work of art - a dish for 
water and one for seed to attract the birdies.

Tall pine

We have a really tall pine tree near our home...
or... is it a cleverly disguised phone tower that truly blends in
with the local flora?  Hard to tell.

Storm a'brewin

Keeping watch, over the rooftops for more rain

Lots of rain this spring and summer means...

 Gorgeous, lush vegetation everywhere


Wherever I wander in my corner of the globe - it's
 like being in beloved Albion


Rusty's daylilies love the rain and the sunshine both

Morning in Stillwater

An early morning fog.  Quiet and a little bit eery.


Sunrise on another early morning

Delicious Morning


A light mist over the water on mine and Gypsy's walk this morning
                            a perfect 72°F

We had winter one day...

Snow - chez nous
 
Snow and Rain                                                                                                          
Rain and Snow                      


















A study in black and white                                                                                                          


And then the lights came on
 
Magical frosting in the neighborhood

We were snug and toasty inside                                                                                                                        
With libations to warm the soul


Next morning...


A peek out the window
 
Snow Dawg

Snow Dawg ready for her walk

 
Our neighborhood sign
 
The path back home
