Where Has The Time Gone

It has been almost a week since I have been able to do any blogging and I have missed you all. While I am getting better at organizing my day job, house and time for my self (I actually scheduled in some down time) I guess I have to work on blogging time.

Over the past week the trees have been busy changing colour. Here on the prairies most of our trees turn yellow, gold or a bronzey brown. I finally realized that perhaps God is mimicking the colours of the farmers fields when they are ready for harvest. You have to search for the brilliant reds that I remember growing up with back east

This Manitoba Maple turns more brown than any other colour and the leaves shrivel to nothing. I do wish the same would happen to its seeds, as I spend a lot of the spring digging tiny maple trees out of my gardens.

I did manage to find a bit of red though. My Virginia Creeper turns a bright red in the fall. Once it attains it's full autumn beauty I will post a photo.

I joined a 4 month swap a little while ago, and my swap partner lives in Mississippi. Brenda sent me some lovely gifts to start off my fall decorating. Harvey loves the candy she sent. I have most of next months box ready to go and plan on sending it out very soon.

Just look at all the lovely gifts Brenda sent me. I have already hung up the apple basket, had a cup of tea and enjoyed a pumpkin cookie. Thank you Brenda for all your lovely, thoughtful gifts.

Well off to visit all of you. Have a wonderful evening. God Bless.
