Happy Autumn! My Fav Time of Year

Autumn, my fav time of year is finally on the way, after another VERY dry summer here on Vancouver Island.

The air is cooler at night already (back to deep sleeping!!) and hopefully some much needed rain will finally be on the way soon.

I am adding some new Autumn Kindle book promos at my writing site today too. Click here for all the details.

Happy Autumn, Reading and Cooking Too!

I don’t know where the time went, in September, the month just flew by.

The weather here on Vancouver Island is still warm and pleasant, most days.🌻

The unpacking continues….we are making headway but still so much to do.

I hope you enjoy this Mr. Cheddar photo from the archives. One of my all time favorites.

It was inspired by the lyrics of a song, sung so beautifully by Judy Collins:

Chelsea Morning

But no sun today, the fabulous Mr. Cheddar is actually enjoying a nap right now.

The Autumn Leaves (haiku, movie and song) :-)

This is a reblog of an autumn post (from 2015) that I hope you enjoy.

I hope you enjoy my haiku and photo too.😊

The unpacking continues here. We have now given away over 120 boxes of clothing, household items,books… to charity, so slowly but surely, making progress.

And today, we are setting up my office complete with new laptop and printer, yipee!

🍁🌾 Happy Week and Happy Autumn!🍂🍁

The Autumn Leaves is a song that I often have running through my mind, especially this time of year. As I mention in this post, it was also a Nat King Cole tune, that my beloved Grandma cherished.

And the movie of the same name is also one that I have never forgotten.Quite a “racy” film for its time (1956) and definitely with some disturbing content.

But, if you are a fan of Joan Crawford and/or movies from the 40s/50s like I am, do check this one out.

It also features a young and oh, so handsome Cliff Robertson.  Also starring, Lorne Greene in a role that is far removed from his later, fatherly…
