Autumn Leaves

Today is the first day of autumn. Our weatherman must have gotten the memo. Right on que we have fall temperatures. It was 56 degrees this morning when I went out to walk the dogs. Beemer and I were thrilled. Flame not so much. The ride to work was cool, and all of the joggers had on long sleeved shirts. I stopped to photograph a stand of brown plants along the Katy trail. After taking 15 or so pictures of these plants, I snapped a quick one of the leaves and stones along the fence. As usual, I found the shot taken as an aside was the best of the lot.

Looking forward to a weekend of bike riding and socializing. Tonight we go to the Texas and Pacific Tavern's one year anniversary party. Hope to get in a fairly long ride tomorrow then do some grocery shopping on my bike. Have to get rid of some of the weight I gained when I was down for my nose job.

Looking forward to visiting my friend in the nursing home on Sunday. A thought has been bouncing around in my head all week is that I went their last week with a "gift" for him. He was not ready for it, nor did he ask for it. He did "ask" for other things, but I was not focused on his needs as much as on my giving my "gift." I pray that I will be in a better frame of mind so that will not happen again.
