Autumn In My Front Yards


Then (1974) in Mom and Dad's front yard in Northern New Jersey (with niece and nephew)...

And Now... In my own front yard in Illinois the colors are equally striking.

For about a week each year we get a front row seat to this breathtaking Autumn splendor. Combined with memories from past Autumns it makes for a very satisfying circle of memories.

It made me happy so I just thought I'd share with the class.

Absolutely gorgeous -- then and now. I'm loving the pants, of course. I got some gorgeous photos of the one tree I can see near my house that has leaves that change not too long ago. I'll take what I can get! Thanks for sharing...

EEK! Those pants! The sister who took the picture made them for me...

Well, at least the tree in the photo hasn't gone out of style!

Love you fall pics. I wish we had fall color change here in my part of the southwest. I have a post about fall here in AZ at one of my other blogs....www.dailygoulash.blogspot.com, with some beautiful pictures of what we have here in AZ. Thanks...

I want my readers to know...

I love to write thoughtful, carefully crafted stories about my life, memories and aspirations... “narrative non-fiction” is what that sort of writing is called.

One of those aspirations was to have a reason to write those stories, and a place for others to read them.

That is the primary reason this blog exists. It is my place to make available the stories that live within me. It is my intention for this blog to be a reflection of myself and my interests.

I write strictly for my own pleasure (and hopefully your reading enjoyment). I do not get paid to write anything that appears on this site!

It’s all me – all the time.

That is my full disclosure…
