Beautiful Leaves Everywhere!

Oh my, Glitterinas, on our recent trip to

Indiana, for a wedding, I fell in love 

with all the beautiful autumn leaves!

Fall has always been my favorite season.

I have always lived in Texas.

I grew up on the Texas Gulf coast.

Put all those facts together.....and you have 

a Texas gal who has never really experienced

FALL!

Now if you have ever lived where 

fall is actually it's own

season....this post will probably bore

you to tears....so, if you need to be finished reading,

well, that's OK.....I understand!

Later gator!

If you are still reading, please prepare

yourself for millions of beautiful leaves!

Uh oh, that may have scared some

Glitterinas off, too......sorry....

I exaggerated a bit!

Aren't the colors SO pretty??!

I hugged the bride, her Mom, and her sister 

as soon as we arrived.....then I got busy 

walking around taking pictures.

I would take a few steps and gasp....

"Oh my, look at this leaf!"  

Snap a pic....

"Look at these!"

Snap....

I was talking to Mister Nobody.

I was by myself....but that has never 

stopped me from talking before.....

and it sure wasn't gonna stop me then!

When I saw this tree, I started laughing 

and said out loud .....

"Lord, you did some fabulous work with this one!"

I didn't have my fence climbing shoes on

or I would have hugged that tree!

Oh my!

There was an entire row of 

Christmas trees growing in the front yard.

All I could think of was....

strings and strings and strings of

twinkle lights!

Go ahead, Glitterinas, put your nose up there

and take a deep breath......

Those trees smelled so good.

I love it when my grocery store gets 

the first batch of trees in at Christmas time....

I always stop and sniff them, too.

Not to be out done by the leaves, 

the berries, 

the rose hips, 

and 

the golden rod (a-a-a-chooooo)

were putting on quite a lovely color show, too!

Mr. Hornet was looking particularly lovely.

I kept a respectful distance.....I certainly

did not want to upset anyone with a 

weapon like he had.

The pink and green leaf he was sitting on 

was a gorgeous perch!

The bride and groom own many acres....some cleared, fenced and

used.....

....some more wooded and thick with

bushes and undergrowth.

They have mowed paths that meander 

all over the place.

I enjoyed being able to just 

wander around and take in all the 

magnificent colors!

These trees, by one of the tanks (I believe they call them ponds),

 have bark that peels off 

like paper.

This Texas gal got to see 

FALL 

in a whole new, colorful way!

I brought some of the loveliness home......along with 

many pictures and memories!

The Lord used a bigger paint brush with

His palette of colors than I've seen in Texas.....

goodness, I enjoyed getting to see it!

We had not even gotten to the wedding yet.......

Until next time,

Tammy

Thankful for:

the gift of sight
