Cooler weather makes such a huge difference

Good morning Folks,

Here it is Friday morning, almost the middle of October.  Yesterday we woke up to less humidity and cooler temps. I worked outside for about 3 1/2 hours yesterday morning. Could hardly stop once I got started, but I was starting to get tired near the end, and looking at where the sun was in the sky I figured it was around noon. (It was noon-thirty.) I did get done what I wanted to do. Still have lots more that needs taking care of, but all in good time, especially now that the weather is changing a little.  I was so thankful all day to be outside working, even though I was sweating, it wasn’t like a couple of days ago, humid and miserable, it was BEAUTIFUL out.

I’ve got some photos taken over the past couple of weeks, haven’t posted anything since the 29th, took a break from posting, not planned, it just happened.

This is a hibiscus bloom after a rain.

Queen Crepe, blooming again, such a nice surprise. One of my favorite bloomers here in Plum Cottage gardens.

Tork ~ on her feather pillow in our bedroom.

Isn’t she a hoot? I love her long whiskers. When I sit in my chair in the living room, she jumps in my lap, climbs up on my chest, and lays right down under my chin. I’m her ‘mommy’ and we are bonding. She was abandoned and sickly as a kitten. I fell for her, and in love with her, we started feeding her and here she is, having wormed her way into our hearts. She is about 5 years old.

That’s it for now.

I’ve got to think about getting ready to head off to work today. I work again tomorrow, only a 2 day work week this week.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend ~ FlowerLady
