We had cooler temps and a lot of
rain this week, but the last couple of days have been gorgeous. Which is in keeping with the fall colors that are still
showing up everywhere.

Our peppers still think it’s
summer!

Dr. M took a couple of pictures
of Ohio farming.
Remember last year we had some
pictures of the buffalo and his goat? Now he has two goats!

Dr. M saw this doe on the
railroad track – get off there girl, you’re making me nervous!
The State of the Bug. I had
lunch with a friend from my old church. We were celebrating her 83rd
birthday.
My sister-in-law (hey B!) told
us that it was chocolate cupcake day, so I came home to mini-cupcakes. My hubby
is the best!

Dr. M took several pictures of
gorgeous leaves this week. Here’s one.
The geese love the cornfield.

The miniature rose that our neighbors gave me after my
surgery has decided to start blooming again. :)

More gorgeous trees.
I really tried to get a picture
of the Tax
Time Pig. But there was a car behind me and a UPS truck coming from the
other direction, and as you can see my pointing & shooting just netted a
picture of the post that stands directly between me and the silly pig. Sigh.
My youngest nephew turned 18
today. I thought it would be appropriate to post a picture from when he was a
little kid. Happy birthday B2!

Dr. M & I took a ramble
today. We drove around a bit.
And then went to our favorite
fen. I didn’t use my cane. I basically stopped using it last week when I
pulled the muscle in my side because it hurt to press my hand down on the cane
handle. Now my side is much improved,
but I decided that I was done with the cane. Anyway, we had a nice short walk.
According to this woolly worm we’re
going
to have a mild winter. I’ll believe it when I see it!
How was your week?
Go to Sara’s blog here to see the blogs of
all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!
Most of our photos are taken with a 12
megapixel Nikon D5000 DSLR, using a 55-200mm zoom lens. This is the camera that
Dr. M takes with him most days. We also take pictures with our old reliable 7
megapixel Canon Powershot A710. This is the camera that the Bug uses most of the time.
If you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just ask!
Your tree colors are a lot prettier than ours. Love the bird photo. Sounds like your surgery was a big success!
ReplyDeleteYou say their was a buffalo and his goat and now there are two goats? I didn't know biology worked that way.
ReplyDeleteNo more cane. Great news. I love the pictures of your very beautiful week.
ReplyDeleteso good to see the color in all those trees!!! We just don't have a lot of that down here and with the dry summer it is even worse. Yours are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteso funny the buffalo and the goats!!!
Your woolly bear caterpillar is going to grow up to be Pyrrharctia isabella - Isabella Tiger Moth. Just cuz I like to know these things.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I did not have a particular favorite this week...I loved them all. I am partial however to barns...and you did not let me down there!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bug for letting us visit your beautiful world - and your friends looks amazing for 83!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a great week for you. I loved all the photographs. I'm glad you are able to go without the cane. You might want to purchase a trekking pole (or even a pair) to have around when you are walking on trails or other rugged terrain. Just a little added insurance.
ReplyDeleteYour photos were so gorgeous I wanted to jump into the computer and be in that lovely cornfield. I hope the beautiful doe jumped off that railway track, thanks for sharing your lovely part of the world.
ReplyDeleteI love all your beautiful fall pictures this week. But the trees on Friday are especially wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteChocolate cupcake day?!? I don't know how I miss these things. But it's probably for the best that I did. ;)
That's a radiant and young looking 83 year old!
ReplyDeleteAll great pics twixt the w of U!
Love seeing so many geese. I must be getting ready for hunting stories of this week.
83?!? she looks great!!
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of the geese in the field.
your trees ARE gorgeous!
Your trees have so much more color than we saw here. I keep looking, but it's a bit disappointing. It was sunny this weekend, so maybe we'll see a bit more color this week.
ReplyDeleteI hope your wooly worm is right. Can you send him up here, please?
I love that you two "took a ramble". :) Love the barn photos. So...country!
ReplyDeleteStephen - ha! It does look very suspicious to me!
ReplyDeleteI had been afraid that we wouldn't have much color this year, but it really has been gorgeous. I was glad we got to get out & ramble a bit.
Helen IS a very young 83 - we always talk church & politics when we visit. She's always updating me on the latest MSNBC stuff :)
I am yearning to go out and take some fall foliage very soon.....we are starting to get a bit of color in our area...
ReplyDeletevery nice pictures this week!
my peppers are still producing as well, they usually go until the first frost:)
Have a great week!
Blessings
