Sunday was rainy off and on but still mild. A good day to eat the last of the pumpkin chiffon pie, to put the turkey soup in the freezer, and to spend some time writing.
We don't rush into Christmas -- it'll be a couple of weeks before we put up a tree. I enjoy savoring the last bit of fall -- the burning bushes all aglow, the newly planted pansies blooming, the calm before the storm of all that Yuletide carrying on.
There's all the time in the world, I tell myself, to deal with the Christmas lists . . .gifts, cards, festivities. No need to rush . . .
It may be the turkey tryptophan languor talking. . .

The colors in that first photo are beautiful!
Oh those lucky pansies will look so good in that blue planter! Enjoy taking time to enjoy the season...a novel approach!
With all the beautiful scenes around you I can understand your desire to dawdle a bit.
You are so right. There is time. No need to rush and ruin the holidays. The important stuff will get done and the not-so-important stuff can wait.
You still have touches of green everywhere. It is so great to see. I like your little blue water feature.
I keep meaning to start writing Christmas cards but I hardly seem to have savoured autumn yet either.
