Because of this:
I had to wear these:
(Far too many rocks outside to go barefoot.) But that resulted with this:
TANNED TOES!!!! The only tan I have had in years!!!! By the way, taking pictures of one’s feet is not easy!
So goodbye bare feet and tanned toes. Wearing socks in the day and shoes outside. Ugh!
And all the fun I had this summer. These crazy kids:
Got to visit and loom-knit/crochet and CHAT in the same rooms rather than over the internets. That was so fun! The one on the right came up to see me a couple times! Oh, and my hair is very short now. Hope I don’t freeze in the winter!
I love these ladies to pieces!
The above tree has no more leaves now.
The driveway has more leaves now and the above trees are far yellow-er.
And this currant bush is showing beautiful colors.
It is getting cold at night. Days get to the 60s when we’re lucky but we are back to the faucets dripping at night to prevent frozen pipes. The poor turkeys’/chickens’ water is frozen when we wake in the morning.
The saddest thing is I didn’t get to swim at all this summer. 😦
That currant bush is gorgeous, and it looks fab against the evergreen.
I can’t go out barefoot lately, either, not because rocks, but because bees!
Silly fall, doesn’t it know it’s late?
We had a lot of red ants during the summer. They are gradually shutting down the hills with tiny signs of “C U next year!” I had never seen underground bees before we moved here, but we had those cute fuzzy bees coming out of a couple holes in the backyard. These insects I had to watch out for even with the sandals. In fact, if the ants crawled under the straps they’d get stuck and I’d get stung/bit. But those rocks are everywhere and hurt even when I wear flip-flops. But fall can wait a year as far as my body is concerned. I hurt so much less in the summer. People can drive without icy roads in the summer. Wish I could share this with you and you can share your late warmth to me! 😉
Indeed, a bit of weather swapping would do us good!
I don’t miss the fire ants of the south. Ugh.
🙂
And we love you to pieces! So glad I got to see you again this summer. I miss you! ❤
I miss you, too! ❤ So glad we get to meet online once a week. Not happy about the lack of real hugs, but the love is real for all of us! And now we are about to embark on another NaNo!
