Stone House Scribblings

It is so beautiful outdoors today.  They tell us that today is our last nice day. It has been a lovely, warm day. The golden glow of color is absolutely amazing this year. At the risk of sounding mystical and silly I would say that it answers something deep inside us and causes a strong… Continue reading Falling Leaves

                                             Already!  The days are getting shorter, too. Awesome color everywhere to compensate for the knowing that summer is ended. There are just a few unfrosted flowers in the garden to be arranged in a late fall bouquet for the table. Nice surprise bonus bouquet.
