Frozen Water, Cattails and Milkweeds

The post title says it all.  I took these last Saturday while out taking the snow photos.  You will probably be sick of seeing snow pictures by the time I get done showing you all I took.  I promise I won't show them all...Not today anyway.





Thanks for stopping.  I hope you are having a great week.

Until next time.

September

September
by Helen Hunt Jackson

The golden-rod is yellow
The corn is turning brown
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.

I learned this poem way back in grade school.  We used to take field trips in the fall down to the river...about a mile from the school.  On the way we would see the golden rod in the ditch and the corn in the fields.  I always loved those trips.







That is as much of the poem as I can remember.  But I always think of it in September.
A few more pictures of Fall.









I hope you are all having a good September so far.  I am loving this cooler, drier weather.  It helps my breathing.

Thanks for stopping.  See you next time.
