Yesterday I was actually outdoors in bare feet; I was pulling the weeds and dead tomato plants from the ground. It was a little cool, but I didn't mind. It was too beautiful all around for me to be minding anything. A bit of sprinkling in mid-day, and then sunlight and leaves whirling late afternoon. November! It seems a nicer month than when I was younger. I had to bring Dolly out before supper, just for a little while. This season can seemed enchanted sometimes.
I was watering the plants at the library today, and dead leaves outside caught my eye.
But it was two weeks ago when we saw a fabulous rainbow, and it was the whole thing, too. At home they always appear in the back yard and I have to run to and fro to glimpse parts of them between the trees. This rainbow stood outside the old entrance to the library, and it was all we could do to not look for the pots of gold at either end. It was vivid, and double.
I was intent on getting it all in, so it's distorted, and the colors are going by this time - but it was great!
how lovely!!! that rainbow!!! **thank you** for your comment on my blog; it's my Husband who is struggling with the allergies, but boy we should of had him wear a mask when he helped clean the other day (we did not realize the impact, now he's worse again)... is this what you were referring to: https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/products/lung-care-extract/profile ?? thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry so late, Elizabeth - Yes, that's the stuff. It seems to strengthen the lungs. But the quercetin opens them up, which is great to have on hand! Email me if you want: searchinglisat@gmail.com
DeleteLooks extra pretty in your part of the world at the moment. I've decided that if I visit the US and Canada, it will be during the autumn. I would love for it to be autumn 2017 but I'm not so sure it will happen.
ReplyDeleteThat would be the best time of year, Tracy. At least up north. In the South, I don't know how much color they get.
DeleteAutumn is enchanting, yes. And that game! That was the best baseball game I've ever seen. Yeaa, Cubs! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know I would end up rooting for them, but that's what happened. I'm glad it went seven games. I think the rain delay also helped them, psychologically. There were so many fans at the Cleveland stadium.
DeleteWhat a lovely newsy post! The rainbow must have been wonderful to see! I like the idea of walking barefoot in a November garden but I don't think I'd want to try it here at the moment! We have had a typical late autumn day today - northerly, blustery wind, lots of cold rain showers and the trees getting balder by the minute.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Clare. I like the colder, grayer November days, too. But I think that has lots to do with the anticipation of Thanksgiving.
DeleteI love knowing that you gardened in bare feet in November! I went to final exams in bare feet once, in December in college, but that was southern California, and actually, my feet were not happy about it!
