The Obsessed With Autumn Sort of Hope

“Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn.”

Elizabeth Lawrence

I’ve been sitting still and watching leaves pretty much since the weekend. ( and by sitting still I mean  I am still doing laundry, cleaning, editing, running kids, etc but not really going anywhere , making an effort to get dressed, etc). For me that’s “still”.

That’s the yucky part of my condition. The down time after the up time. It’s a give and take. A delicate balance that I can’t always seem to get right.

My daughter had to make us dinner for a school project tonight. What a nice treat. It’s been a long time since I wasn’t the one cooking here in this house. I could get used to it! She did well, though I’m afraid if I allow her to continue to cook after tonight they will figure out that I am no longer useful here and put me out to pasture like an old horse.

I am totally and completely obsessed with fall again this year.

These are all edited in some regard~Whether they are painted, HDR’d or simply enhanced.

I am restless.

My thoughts are scattered.

The past few days have been challenging at best.

The good news is, this too shall pass.

The bad news is, so will my beloved autumn.

Catch it while you can.  ❤

I took these while Mike and I were driving home from our whirlwind weekend. Thankfully, he was driving and I was the one with the camera. It just works better that way!  He doesn’t always indulge my passion for photographing pretty much everything, so I take what I can get.

Just like in life, when it comes to catching the good stuff, there are no “do overs”.

I love the little white church on the hill. It’s my favorite.
