We have had one nice day and I quick got my camera out.  I hope we have a couple more, but most of the leaves are gone now.  I am glad I got these shots while I could.  I just love the colors!

Welcome to snowy Wisconsin! As much as I don't like this before the middle of October, I have to admit it is beautiful. Kind of sad to see my maple tree...it hasn't even had a chance to turn color and it is covered in white. There is something not quite right about bright colored flowers peeking out from snow. One of the things that never ceases to amaze me is how quiet it gets when we have snow like this, almost like the world is holding its breath at the beauty of it. Happy Monday everyone!!

My Christmas cactus is in full bloom and we are supposed to get several inches of snow by morning...it is not even the middle of October! Where the ...... is global warming when you need it??? I am not ready for winter to start this early.

Frost is on the roofs across the street, little wisps are on our windows this morning, my Christmas cactus is in bloom....I think winter is lurking around the corner here in Wisconsin. I think it is time to put the down comforter on the bed.

Oh boy! Amy is at it again...another bloggers quilt show! Now I have to find a picture of a quilt to share...hope I have one. Please click on the button to the right to check it out and join the fun.

Also please stop over at my Quilted Hugs blog to see the darling quilt that arrived on Friday as part of the Summer Mini Quilt Swap. A very special sunflower quilt that I love....Thanks Michi!!

Sunday nap time. Little Moquette snoozen this afternoon next to me while I sew.

I love my orchids...this is the last of the blooms right now. All the others are done for a while.
