Weekend & Winter


Queen Anne Skeletons

Autumn is about to come to a screeching halt here in the mountains.
Tomorrow is predicted to be unseasonably cold with a chance of snow flurries!
I'm not ready for a high of 35. Guess it doesn't really matter if I'm prepared or not, it's coming.

Our weekend was a great mix of spending time outdoors, as well as, at home.
Saturday we went to the 35th annual Balloonfest,
which you'll hear/see more about this week.


Today, we stayed within the confines of our home.
The early part of the day was spent re-watching some old movies,
and the rest of the afternoon was spent cleaning up the dining room & kitchen.
Afterwards, we played a game of Scrabble on the table we cleared off while cleaning.
I was even able to cook dinner while we were playing our game - Cody helped too.

This weekend definitely went by way too quickly........
then again, I say that every weekend!

  1. I LOVE this photo! The contrast of the practically black and white, faded Queen Anne's lace flower against the amazing yellow, I guess sunny background, is wonderful. This one could sell to stock houses, perhaps. Just wonderful. At least frame a print!

  6. Beautiful colors. Sounds like we had similar weekends. I even took a stroll in our back field to find some shots with morning dew and low rising sun. Yours is much better! Have a great Monday.

  8. Lovely seed heads. We too are experiencing temps of 35+ but Centigrade. Autumn, Winter and Spring forgot to rain and we are already having searing winds off the desert and no water reserves.
    Drought kills gardens more permanently than frost.

  27. This is truly a beautiful shot. The flowers look almost as if they're wrinkled with time, age and wisdom, and I love how you captured the blurred, honey colored background.
