Pulled up the driveway
last evening just as
the last hour of daylight
was fading.
The leaves have fallen
and the winter cold
will soon set in --
though we had record temps
here this weekend
following a little snowfall
on Monday.
My seasonal
"thick skin"
has not yet formed
so every chill in the air
seems to sink
right to the bone.
Hoping you
are somewhere warm
and enjoying the last week
before Thanksgiving festivities
start to kick in.
Have a lovely weekend. :) |
So lovely!
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos, stay warm!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe had a lovely evening like that here tonight. The sunset was gorgeous and the lake was as smooth as glass reflecting it all. Then the full moon came up. It was 50 here today and will be 52 tomorrow and 60 with rain on Monday. I love it but it's not going to last. Hugs, Pam
ReplyDeleteWe've had a chilly week, but today warmed again. Your images are lovely, Alison.

Lovely , mood filled photos . . . Time for us to put on a brave front to greet the cold winds and snowy days. Rosy cheeks will be the style . . .
ReplyDeleteYour autumn photos are so pretty. Stay warm, Alison! I enjoyed the Midwest Living so much. Your pretty home decorated for Christmas made me smile!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Alison...enjoy the weekend!

What a beautiful time of day....but it comes too soon in the day, I find.
ReplyDeleteI haven't donned MY seasonal thick skin yet either (actually wondering if it's going to develop at all)! Since we don't have a fireplace of our own, I'm claiming a nearby Cracker Barrel's!
What a welcoming site to come home to on a winter's eve...beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteA beacon of light that calls you home. Hope you have a lovely week as well.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty pics, love twilight and like you I am still adjusting to the dip in temps....past 40 and it makes me long for summer all over again!
ReplyDeleteFull disclosure...I am still wearing flip-flops. I am not yet ready for the cold. It never bothers me but I am not ready to leave my gardens!
ReplyDeleteI found a lovely store in Crete, of all places. Like an oasis in the desert! We really, really need to get together before too long!
