Goodbye, September

Oh, what a wonderful Sunday it was. It started out with these... With some of these from our ladies...
 And a visit to a new nook in our city. A little oasis between two highways, literally.
 And now we are enjoying an outdoor dinner, with a fire, to celebrate the end of September.

Here's a cheer to the new month!

Happy October to all.

Transitions

A few shots from my walk with Katie, with the exception of the beautiful striated eggplants from the market yesterday. Fall is all around us now.

The Great Lakes

The Great Lakes live up to their names: they are truly great in size, and beauty. If you didn't know what they were, you would arrive at each one and immediately think that you have reached the ocean. And you wouldn't know that you were wrong until you dip in your finger, and take a taste of the water. It's not salty.



We are living closer to these lakes now, a few of them are just north of us. A couple of weekends ago we were at Lake Michigan. And this weekend, we were by Ontario and Erie. All of them sparkled in the beautiful September blue sky.

Geraniums

Our geraniums on my birthday, a few days ago. Simple beauty that greeted me throughout that day.

By the water

Summer is almost coming to an end... we still have a little time left to find water... any water... lucky for us, we are not too far from the great lakes these days (but far enough that we can't just drop everything and make it a day trip). More great lakes to come in the next couple of weeks... And then it's all about central Ohio and the beauty around here. We will find it, don't you worry.
