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!

Hi Sandy & Michael!

Not sure you remember us - we met you in Quito last year and enjoyed a coffee and conversation. Just wanted to say how lovely your garden is and ask where you are going on your next adventure. We finished our 8 months in Ecuador, including the Galapagos Islands, Cuenca, Mount Chimborazo, Vilcabamba, and the rainforest. Spent one month backpacking our way through Peru & Chile. Went to Machu Picchu, the Colca Canyon, Lake Titicaca, and the Atacama Desert. Wow, they were all spectacular! Hope you get there, if you haven't already. We're headed to Spain on Nov 1 to live for one year. Quite excited to be on our way, but will miss the opportunity we had to spend the summer in Michigan with our son, spouse and our little granddaughter. If Spain is on your bucket list for 2018, let us know as we'd love to connect with you again. Take care! We enjoy your blog!
