The brilliant colors around me

I wanted to share a picture taken right outside my residence.  It shows the brilliant fall colors of the trees near me.  I am thinking that this kind of foliage is similar to that I saw awhile ago when I traveled to the New England area to see some of its fall foliage.

Unfortunately we are expecting lots of rain and some wind that will blow many of these leaves down from their trees.  In addition to clogging the storm drains around here, the trees will become much more barren (and I miss the leaves) and winter-like.  But the promise of a lovely Spring will now be upon us as everything growing rests for awhile.

I am well, but working hard to turn around my sleep habits from waking up at night and then being sleepy during the day.  My residence keeps everything so warm and comfortable that it is easy to fall asleep in the middle of the day!

Fall is here!

As you can see by this picture, fall has arrived in the Northwest.  We continue to have wonderful weather with gorgeous skies, but I am sure this will change shortly.  This picture was taken near to where I live at a lake that has a path around it.  I don't do much walking now, but it was a spectacular wheelchair spin around it.

Carol & Ken sent me 2 beautiful outfits to wear.  Both have spectacular fall colors in them, and will brighten up my wardrobe.  I hope in the future to share at least one of them with you all in a picture.  I am told Carol & Ken and their entire family will be visiting at Thanksgiving, so I look forward to this.  My weekly phone calls to Randy & Ken plus my visit with my youngest son Doug keep me abreast of what each of my children are doing.

Halloween here at my residence is fun.  The Montessori kids at the school across the street from where I live get to dress up in costume and come over for us to see them.  That, plus the goodies they get when they come here is always a great time.
