October
The summer is over,
The trees are all bare,
There is mist in the garden
And frost in the air.
The meadows are empty
And gathered the sheaves --
But isn't it lovely
Kicking up leaves!

No frost yet, but plenty of rain. A morning that couldn't make up its mind whether to be sunny or wet has decided on...wet.
The Beef Stew with Quince that I made turned out very well. There were a few minor variations on the recipe, but it was delicious and different. My brother and sister-in-law enjoyed it with us.
We are away from home again this evening, taking an unexpected and quick trip to see friends across the border. The ferry crossing was a mixture of sun and rain, just like the rest of the day. Staying the night at my parents' place. It's always good to visit with them.
What a fabulous old gate that has seen many comings and goings I’m sure. Pink sky this morning I think we usually say shepherds warning. Hopefully it will stay dry. Enjoy your visit. How long does the crossing take ?
ReplyDeleteOur crossing is only 1.5 hours - much shorter than yours! Plus the waiting time before boarding.
DeleteDearest Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteNo doubt in your area the summer is over with. Here not yet as it remains balmy warm weather above 25°C with cooler nights.
What a blessing for being able to visit your Parents!
Hugs,
Mariette
Yes, I am so blessed to still have both of my parents living independently and well.
DeleteHope you had a great visit with friends and family!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful October photos. Love the gate. Happy travels to you.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a most enjoyable weekend and enjoyed your time with your parents and your friends. We could use some rain over here. Although I am enjoying the sunny days immensely.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim. We are still at our friends' place. It's good to have the freedom and time to go at a moment's notice.
DeleteLove each of your fall photos. So far fall is quite pretty with color. Happy, safe travels.
ReplyDeleteI think we've had at least 1 frost warning here. Winter is coming!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if Blogger ate my comment? LOL.
ReplyDeleteI've had to turn on comment moderation due to some comments not quite in keeping with the blog.
DeleteSuch lovely photos, Lorrie! You have captured fall in a beautiful way!
