Fall color...busy days

This through-the-windshield shot was taken a week ago.

October has been a beautiful month in our area in spite of the drought.  I see changes in the fall color every day.  We had a few very windy days last week that brought a lot of leaves down.
  

The beautiful, changing scenery outside has gotten my attention for most of the past few weeks and I don't regret it for one minute.  But now, I need to focus on several neglected chores insideSo, I will be away from blogland from time to time the next week or two.    


The trees on our Back Six still have pretty color but fewer leaves.  

  How is the fall foliage looking in your area?  
And, do you have any big projects going on at your house?

  Until next time...

  2. I love looking at fall colors, Unfortunately there aren't any in Phoenix. I have to drive at least 100 miles north to see any. But it is 70 degrees in the winter, so who am I to complain.

  6. Love the colors of fall. I have a lot of fall cleaning to do, but I'm just to worn down right now to do it. Aren't the cold nights wonderful?

  7. Really pretty autumn scenes! I always hope for rain days, for inside chores and projects. I never want to waste a beautiful day indoors.

    I do all my big cleaning, chores and projects in the winter, when I have to be inside anyway!

We are kickin' back here. Well, CH has to hoover up the bazillion leaves.. :) Get your projects done so you can come back and play! Rain coming this week!

  11. Our colors peaked last week but it is still beautiful. The best colors we have had in years. Leaves are coming down now with all the rain.

  12. I dread to see fall leave; more than that I dread the cold days of winter. Our leaves are falling too quick for me, but with rain that is what we get.

    I am currently quilting a small quilt...52 inches square when I started. I know it will shrink some with quilting and when washed.

    We are getting our granddaughter at the end of the week...can't come too soon for me.

  18. Hi Cheryl...
    such beauty! We too have enjoyed the beautiful colors of Fall.
    I just love when the leaves drift down from the trees, and swirl in the wind!

    We're still working on projects too... we'll take every minute we can get, until the snow falls :)

    Smiles :)

  19. Gorgeous! I love pics like the first one, looking beyond. The trees here are prettier than they have been in years, maybe due to the drought.

  20. Lovely pictures of fall; we are now getting the signs of winter in our area. I haven't had enough time to enjoy fall moments. I do look forward to the winter holidays.
    I will need to get some projects done as soon as I completely recovery from my surgery. I am way behind now. I may need to take a blog break.
    Blessings and hugs to you!

  21. The trees are just gorgeous! They are here too.

    We are just getting things ready for winter. I thought I had all the hose puts away until I mowed this week and saw one buried in the grass. I will get that today.

  22. Our fall foliage hasn't begun yet. And now, Hurricane Sandy is probably going to take all the leaves before they have a chance to change colors!
