Sundays in My City - It's Almost Here!


Only a few choice trees are showing their morphing talents, but oh my, the colors are fabuuuuu! I'm sharing just a few this week, but will take some more again next Sunday!

Now, I won't show you all of the dried up brown leaves on the lawns, streets and cars, as they really don't seem that attractive to me. They only remind me of the fact that they will need to be raked up soon, and disposed of properly!

I love the fact that we are not having any more 90 degree with humidity days, and that now I can start wearing more sweaters and other cute outfits that are traditionally more popular in cooler weather!

I have been on the top ten list of "worst moms ever" for a few years now. Maybe if I drag out the Halloween decorations I might score a few points with the kids! Below is a picture of my darlings when they were in preschool and Kindergarten. This was one of the best costume years for me, as they were easy to make and CHEAP! I stole the idea off of the Today Show (in those days, I could actually catch the show!) The serapes are made out of black felt and the stars, sun and moons are gold wrapping paper that are glitter glued onto the felt. The hats were bought at a party store for a few "dobbers."

The above picture is of the Meremac River - sometime between fall and winter.

We have a wonderful state park near us called Castlewood. We go there for hikes, walking the dog, taking pictures, birthday parties, and just enjoying nature. I'd like to share a few photos with you taken by Ed, the 18 year old in the family!


You can almost see Ed's beau between the trunks of the tree!


A fallen tree branch near the banks of the river.


Our pine trees hold their own and provide green during the winter. Here is one growing next to a tree that has lost its leaves.


Lucky for Ed; she has an eye for a good picture! I shoot, and hope for the best!

Hope you enjoyed our park! Have a wonderful week!
