I remember a time when... well, let me start over...

I was busy washing dishes (by hand) when I thought of something.
Now, I am sitting in my livingroom. My husband is working on a project
in the basement. My dog is sleeping somewhere. I am listening to
Christmas music being streamed into a set of new speakers which hype
the bass.... I love bass sounds.

Hearing these wonderful old Christmas tunes reminded me of Christmases
past:

Well, it's not a REAL gem. But it's such a great idea I just had to share it with you all...

You may have noticed that autumn is in full swing... at least it is in the regions that have deciduous trees as one indicator. It's been an amazing autumn with the trees changing color slowly and almost one at a time so we can savor their beauty.

But now the inevitable is happening and those wonderful colors are drifting to the ground and piling up in crunchy layers that are so fun to scuffle through. When the gentle drift began, hubby was able to mow the yard and turn the leaves into mulch to feed the soil for next year's grass. Now, however, the crunchy layer is way too thick for the mower to be able to handle soooooo, it's time to rake. And rake. And rake. Yikes!!

Before I start, this is my first diary. I hope I do it correctly and that you will enjoy it...

This morning, an overcast day in very early September, with coffee in hand, I stepped out onto my front porch with my little dog at my side. (She's always at my side, or behind me, or in front of me, but certainly nearby.)

I looked over the railing and thought "Holey Moley" and ran back inside for my camera.
