Fall Color Starts

Fall cool begins here with about a week of cloudy, rainy weather. Finally while on errands tonight I looked up n saw a few breaks with stars. First time all week-

On many past rainy day occasions my telephone Land-Line becomes un-grounded in the rain, messing with my internet connection. I'm currently dailing-up at only 28 bps, n this post may take hours to load. It's the speed I've been doing here all week in the rain- Just hope the connection doesn't die before I get something in the editor saved... (it did half-way thru pics)

 Hope the guy who comes to check outside lines Saturday can do something about it without charging me a fee. Until then, I'm playing with shaky internet. Plus I'll have to skip sleeping a day yet again between my Friday n Saturday shifts for more work getting done around the house. I wonder if I'll ever feel rested enough again...

 I have to wait another month for previously requested vaca time owed to me since June. By then it'll be pretty chilly around here. Hopefully I won't have too many things to get done that week too. My calender is getting filled in already-

Last week while carrying some dryer laundry back home, I took a few pics of some small color spots starting, n some pretty (altered) marigold flowers next to cobblestones. I'll save some grey sky pics for later. Maybe It'll be windy enough to dry the work clothes out on the deck tomorrow.

There's alot of leaf litter out there already, Don't know if I'll get to it with all the other projects planned for this week.

 
Playing too much catch-up on all the things that need doing, n not enough real playing. I'm using the term "playing" sarcastically alot lately. Fall tends to be tough on my mood. I am looking forward to seeing some better foliage than last year, at least- N some cool pics of it to share of course-

Note: lapsed time: 3.8 hours
