♥ Sun...Sparkle...Frost...Rain...

 
"He heard sound coming.  Rain like hundreds of mice running through corn."
~Virginia Hamilton

GUESS what it's doing here, on Sunday morning???????????

Sparkles and Shadows...  :-)  One of those *I-noticed-and-clicked* pics.  And this pic really "caught" the sparkle!  Of the sunlight reflected on the decorations, on Saturday morning.
Yet again, I *had* to change my blog look.  :-)   I had grown tired of the Background which I had made.  It was pretty at first, but began to look toooooo busssssssy.  What with my large Header pic, and Large 2nd Header pic, and large posted photos....   My blog looked ....  Tooooo, tooooo.   At first, I was going to go with just white.  But then, I tried for a soft Autumnal color...  Per usual, who knows how long it will be, till I want to change again?  :-)))))))  Fun, for me!

When "Uncle A." was a young lad, he delivered many a paper in his home town.  And they used to fold their papers, like this.  And do it fast!  ,-)  He hasn't seen a paper folded like this, in ages!   I had to take a pic of it.  To record it for posterity.  -grin-

A hard frost hit here, Fri. night into Sat. morning.  The Tuberous Begonias out front, have finally been "done in."  Time to move the Mums to out front.

 These darker Mums are still doing well.  But the beeeeeeautiful pink ones, are nearly all spent.  -pout-

Our leaves are becoming less and less.  I had to look-up for this shot.  ~~~~~   The yellow leaves are falling from the trees...  And blowing along in the air, like yellow snow flakes...

Yes, this pic is taken, looking straight down.  Not at a *wonky* angle.  But it still makes me feel a little *wooooooooozy,* looking at it  You too, Dear Reader?  If it's not just me, I must be more careful with my picture taking.  I certainly don't want to leave my Dear Readers, feeling dizzzzy  ,-)

i love the sparkle of the sunshine photos, that is the type thing that captures my eyes. you change your background like i change my header. I used to change my header once a week sometimes 3 times a week. someone asked me why and i said because i want to....just like you, so change away

JFM said...

How lovely your mums are, Auntie...all of your photos are wonderful!

I love that I am not the only one who loves to change their blog background and header photo :) As a matter of fact...I changed mine this morning, too :D

I also remember papers being folded like Uncle A. is holding. It kept the paper together and neat.

Have a lovely autumn day~~~

You always have lovely photos...
and, yes, I well remember how the newspapers were folded, long ago. Our paperboy, back then, rode his bike while throwing papers...gosh, I miss parts of the good ole days...

I was looking at my stats after you mentioned them and wanted to tell you that while a lot of viewers come by, they sure don't all leave comments. Mine might have 140 views but only 30 or 40 comments....just amazes me but then, some people read blogs and just don't comment. That's fine...I did it before I got a blog and realized how much work it takes to make a nice post...I NEVER go by anyone's blog without leaving at least a hello. It's only good manners to me.
have a great Sunday...we are packing things for a garage sale a little later....:(
I LOVE to go to 'em but hate to have 'em.

I see sunshine now after a rainy afternoon and night. Even a wee bit of rain this Sunday morning.
You have some pretty photos as always. Love the color of the mum!

Nice sparkly photos.
I like your new simple look here - very nice and easy on the eyes.
I've been wanting to change mine too, just haven't had enough time all at once to do it because it seems to take me forever!!!

We had a frost too, the other night. And rain all weekend! Those mums are gorgeous. I like the new blog look. :)

Anita said...

I'm reminded of my brother who was a paper boy and folded papers like that, too. :)

All the pictures are nice, but the mums stole the show.

Linda said...
