Sounds and colors of Fall

Don't you just love the Fall?  There is a painting to be born when I look out every window in the house!  Blue, Blue sky with lovely gray branches and orange leaves against it, V's of Canadian Geese flying in both directions and the rustle of leaves under my feet as I rake the yard.  Ahhh, to be a kid again and jumping in the leaves, and smelling their aroma!

And butterflies still come as beautiful as ever!
First Halloween and now it is the Month of Thanksgiving already!


Below is a great Recipe for left over turkey that I found!

Most enjoyable Kerrie. I was looking out of the window yesterday , In the garden next door is a very tall tree with a squirrel dray, I watched in amazement to see the baby squirrels descend with the mother, Wished I had a camera with me.
Nature is wonderful.
