Three days ago Michel and I were sitting outside saying "It doesn't even look like fall. The leaves on the trees are still green"... Then all of a sudden yesterday "BAM!"  Its Fall!  









The trees across the creek are beautiful. Reds and yellows. There is so much beauty in nature but fall is especially awesome! 










Our yard looks like fall for the most part. We have been busy putting the plants to bed for the winter. But we still have some blooms out there.








Someone needs to tell my roses that summer is over. They look better now than they did all year. But we had such a hot, dry summer I think they are just enjoying the coolness that we have going on now. 

A month from now we will be heading south again. Leaving our place here on the creek is always bittersweet. Hate to leave, but that makes coming back extra special.  

Life is good - thanks for reading!

Where has the summer gone? I cannot believe it is already September, and half way through September no-less!!

The long week-end came and went, much too fast I will add, but we had a very nice visit with my bff Deb and her husband Len (Wald). Can't say we did much, but we certainly did chat a lot, ate a lot and even had a few brewskies (and wine too of course!)









It's always sad to see them go, but I am so grateful that they take the time to come out this way to see us. Until we meet up again - take care of each other - we love you! 💖






So, this past weekend we took an over night Casino tour (bus)  to Worley, Idaho.  

Not particularly something Michel wanted to do, but I did, so off we went. We played bingo on the bus both on the way down and on the way back. Then we played some more at the casino for quite a few hours. We didn't win anything but two people from our group managed to take home just under $1,000. Not bad I say. 




It was fun and we got to get to know a few more people from our little city. Had dinner with a small group (l to r clockwise) Leo and Solange, Michel, Ron, Bob, (toasting with a huge beer) Jacqui and Charlene. 

I think a good time was had by all  👍
Most everyone goes 3-4 times a year, but I can't see us doing that. I can say now that I've been there - done that and had fun!
