Fall is my favorite time of year
The first frost kills the bugs, the leaves turn beautiful colors, and there is a crispness in the air you don't feel in summer or spring. I won't mention winter.
I have a few things on my to do list, such as cleaning out the garden and finally getting the bird bath in correctly. The bird bath will require some work, so I am putting that off as long as possible.
But here are drawbacks to fall.
The Cubs usually stop playing. I love watching them and wish I could go to more games.
The garden stops growing, so no more fresh tomatoes or beans. I still have carrots to dig, but that is not a big thing.
The flowers lose their color, which is too bad. Looking at a bunch of brown plants is not very exciting.
But most of all, fall means another year almost gone.
It's a short trip from birth to autumn, isn't it?
I went to the store tonight. Took may own reusable bags and put them on the counter where a real person was working and they asked me if I wanted my groceries in my bags.
I was going to tell her no, that I would just pile them in my arms. but she was young and I bit my tongue.
I had a fantasy that I spent a week in Chicago, seeing all the things the city has to offer. But, that is unlikely to happen. Driving down Lake Shore Drive Sunday I was amazed at all the people out enjoying the day. It really is a great city.
Three more pictures from Sunday.
I did not realize the Cubs statues have been moved. Hell, I didn't even know the Starbucks was gone.
Not sure I like the new location, if it is indeed the new location.
Peace and Love
