Early Signs of Fall at the Lake...



I'm just back from a long weekend with the family at the lake!  It was a time to relax...no work!  I hadn't been down for several weeks so the early fall changes in the garden were clear to see.  The Chinese Lanterns are in their glory now...



flowers are blooming in mass now...


lots of spider webs...



 changing colors and seedheads...



grasses waving in the breeze...



and berries setting...



 Many geese, ducks, and water birds are migrating in huge flocks now...


So many areas of the country are having too much water now, but we are very dry.  The water level is so low that we are unable to take the boat off the lift right now...You can see the lake looks empty as most everyone has the same problem...


Sophie and Bailey always enjoy relaxing...wherever we are...


even sitting on a chair on the deck!


The days were in the 70's and the sunsets were cool and beautiful...


But summer's not over yet...near 90 degrees is predicted for the first of September!

Until next time...
Linda

  1. It sure is starting to seem like fall isn't it? Look at all your Black-Eyed Susans! I had bunches of those at the lake, but mine didn' make it. Now I'm left with just daylilies.

  4. Beautiful pictures. I'm really looking forward to fall, but out here we have until at least mid October before the cooler weather sets in. A long weekend is really sounding good right now:-)

  5. Linda, wonderful images, though no signs of fall here yet. I have bought some bright mums and they have virtually burnt in the sun, you cannot keep them moist enough!

  8. I love fall too, and it's hard to believe that it's just around the corner! Love the pictures of your pups:) It's very dry here too, believe it or not. Summer is dry season here in WA, and then comes all of the rain!!!!

  15. Hi Linda....great pictures! I love Fall, but am not ready to give up summer just yet.

  16. Hey sweet girl! :)
    You're a patient girl if you've been waiting 25 years to do your mirrors! :) lol It only took me two hours from start to finish..including painting, to get it done. I thought that was pretty good! :)
    So how much of an accent do I have? I truly can't tell. I had some people say they didn't hear an accent and others say they did. I guess it depends on what part of the country you're in. Rhoda (from Southern Hospitality) said she didn't notice an accent...but she's from the south! lol :) That video made me look funny, but I wasn't about to do it again. I figure people aren't going to care how funny I look anyway as long as I teach them something! lol
    It sure is gonna get hot this week...I'm over it and ready for fall! :)
    love ya
    Missy

  22. Hi Linda! So great to hear from you. I've been a bit absent of late. Love these photos, especially the pups, and I have always been fascinated with Chinese lanterns, something I've never seen around here. Also saw your past few posts...must say I covet that "Notions" box! Amazing! Thank you for your kind words. It's great to blog again. ~ Angela
