the last of a beautiful fall day is upon us. temperature sitting at about 65°f and sun is shining in a blue sky. gorgeous! i'm outside right now, swinging on my patio swing while the dog chews on his peanut butter filled bone. the green grass will soon be a dead color brown, but for now, it brings enjoyment of running and jumping, cartwheels and somersaults.

the maples have the last leaves on their skeleton branches but the poplars haven't changed color. the wisteria is a array of interwoven greens and golds. my japanese maple bonsai still need to change, but for now, the bloodgoods are a brilliant red. the roses and hibiscus still have buds and blooms.

the fall rains have been promised for tomorrow and cold temps to follow, but for now, shorts and flip flops are still on the menu. soon that will change to the typical fall and raking clothing.

and still my package hasn't arrived. it is still in spokane...
