Tuesday Tidbits #292 Joys of the Season

Today, I woke up to the gentle patter of rain. It was soothing. The rain was much needed, so its presence was definitely comforting. This comfort brought an Autumnal feeling to me, only to realize it was the second day of Fall.

Happy Fall

A little bit of color is beginning to show in the trees.

How about in your neck of the woods? Are the leaves starting to change? Has the harvest begun?

A beautiful harvest!

Are the Asters blooming for you? That’s another convincing sign that Fall season is here.

Bees enjoy the Wild Asters.

The transformation of trees is not the only display of changing colors; the soybean fields are also undergoing a beautiful transition.

Golden soybean fields.

Today is the first day in a long while that the temperatures have not felt like July. I wore a sweatshirt to collect chestnuts from the neighbor’s tree. It felt refreshing to experience a change in the weather and embrace the simple joys of the season. Has Fall arrived for you?

These are the chestnuts that the squirrels and chipmunks did not get!

Our Cruise

Point Prim Lighthouse

I made a promise to share more pictures of our amazing cruise. Some of you were curious to see the inside of this magnificent lighthouse. Climbing to the top was quite a feat, with its exceptionally steep and tight stairs.

Going up!
Looking down.
Here, we had to climb this steep ladder to the top.
Great views from the top.

The Light!

Once I was back on the ground floor, I could take a picture of the Fog Horn.

The handle needed to be cranked, and then the horn would sound.

Quebec City

We started our cruise in Quebec City. We went a few days early and stayed at Hotel Port Royal.

We highly recommend this hotel. It’s in the heart of Old Quebec City and close to the port if you need to get on a cruise ship.

I found Quebec City to be romantic and full of European charm.

Next week I hope to share Peggy’s Cove of Nova Scotia.

Embracing Fall

Embracing the beauty of fall is easier for some who are surrounded by the vibrant colors of nature. (That’s me!) However, for others, it can be challenging if they live in areas where the weather remains hot.

Sometimes, adding seasonal mugs for your morning coffee adds a certain amount of surprise. Spread some apple or pumpkin butter onto your breakfast toast. How yummy and fall-delicious! Then, add a few pumpkins here and there, and you are embracing Fall while enjoying the joys of the season.

Thank You

It’s been another fly-by week full of fun.

I hope you get to enjoy the seasonal change.

As I always try to convey, we certainly appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.

Just a Peek! Here he is! Our grandbaby!

We are wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this upcoming week brings to you. And whatever you have planned… make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings.
