Fall… and Christmas… Already?

fall colors
It's coming - and soon - fall colors!

Why are we always pushing things.  Can’t we just enjoy what is in the here and now?  I am just beginning to enjoy summer and it’s almost August.  I worked for 5 hours in my yard yesterday to get some clean up done and some flowers planted.  I suppose most people have done this in Spring and now they are off vacationing or doing fun things during their summer Saturdays, but I am behind.

Then I got a notice that I had sold 100 beach Christmas photo cards!  Wow- some people do plan ahead.  In the online shopping and selling world, it is really too late to begin making Fall items to sell.  The items will take some time to get “out there” for people to find, but I opened a new Zazzle “Fall Colors” wedding store anyway.  Most of my fall wedding stuff is hidden in my main store so I thought I’d get it all together, along with new things, to make it easier to find.

I love the Fall season and cherish every moment of it. Now that I have moved I won’t get to see the color around the lake, but look forward to seeing what this new area has for color. It’s an opportunity for new photos. But, today I will enjoy the summer day, and not think ahead.

New England Foliage ~ October 2009

I had a great day for taking photos on Monday and made my shots into postcards shown here.
The Heron and Birch tree pictures are from last Fall, but the others were taken this week.

I wouldn’t say that the color is at it’s peak yet in southwestern NH, but it is very close.

Unfortunately today will be rainy and a strong wind is moving in this afternoon, and as so often happens in Fall, just when the colors are becoming their brightest, the leaves are blown from the trees.
