Hello Friends!
I think this may be a short one this week. I’ve been busy enjoying a little company here at the house, along with a few outings, so I don’t have a lot of big things to report. But I do have a few pictures and a few little “tidbits.”
Today it feels like fall.
It’s cool outside; the Canadian geese are flying overhead, the windows are open, and the A/C is off. Yay! The twinkling lights are coming on earlier in the evening and staying on a little longer in the morning. I’m even looking forward to pulling out my fall sweaters. I think we’re getting close! It’s 55° as I type this. It feels so good. It was a very hot and humid summer with a bit more rain than usual. So I am welcoming all the Fall Feels!
Garden Center
My friend and I visited our local garden center. Everything was lovely and quite fall-like.
This garden sculpture of the horse is metal and made out of metal butterflies!
The small red shed barn in the background of the picture above is an old 1890s ticket booth from the Edinboro Fairgrounds. It was relocated to this garden center last Spring. They completely took it apart and then put it back together. The Garden Center named Scotland Yards received a preservation award from our local historical society.
Our Gardens
Our gardens are giving us a few little surprises. I had one lone zinnia bloom—just one, but I’ll take it! It was one Zinnia that survived from the Moles! Then a rose that I was sure was gone forever decided to bloom again. I am so happy this garden proved me wrong.
You can see in the picture above that the hydrangeas are putting on a show too.
Freezing Corn
I did get some sweet corn frozen! It will taste good when we come back for Christmas!
Update on Monarchs
They are all in their Chrysalis stage! We may have Monarchs next week! 🧡
I Think That’s a Wrap
So maybe I don’t have a big story this week. I just have a small collection of little happenings, a few pretty pictures, and that unmistakable feeling that the seasons are beginning to change. I have a sweatshirt on today! Big smiles all around!
Sometimes there doesn’t have to be anything big happening. A cool breeze through an open window, geese overhead, one unexpected rose, and the first hint of fall can be enough to make an ordinary week feel pretty darn special. And I think that’s more than enough for this week’s Tuesday Tidbits.
Thank You
Short and sweet and that’s okay! Thanks for being here! You are all so appreciated. Happy Fall y’all!
