Autumn Leaf Of The Day #5

 

"A leaf is a letter sent from the trees."

~Unknown

I like that! With a little luck, Trump won't mess with that mail!

38 days until election day! 

If a leaf was my ballot it would be whispering... I can't wait to fall!

Welcome To Autumn 2026

"But when fall comes, kicking summer out in it's treacherous ass, as it always does one day sometime before the mid point of September, it stays a while like an old friend that you have missed."

~Stephen King

Salam's Lot

Finally... autumn is here. Leaf peeping, warm sweaters, rain, long trips to new towns and visits to museums. Monster cakelets and homemade cinnamon pecans. Halloween, my witches parasol, American Horror Story, and spiced cider. All the things I love about Autumn, and more!

Today is the Equinox. Take time to appreciate the first day of autumn!

What activity will you do?

My next post will be the very first, Autumn Leaf Of The Day, for 2026!

A short post today, just a lovely bird. Busy, busy, busy! The Sandhill Cranes are home, and it's the last day of summer! So, I have stuff to do!

It's A Summer Thing

 

"There is time in the last few days of summer 

when the ripeness of autumn fills the air,

 and time is quiet and mellow."

~Rudolfo Anaya

Bless Me, Ultima

What says, it's the last days of summer. quite like finding a gorgeous, Great Egret, sitting in a tree, waiting for a dragonfly to hop into it's mouth.

Shrug. I guess it's a summer thing.

Brain Drain Game

 

"Never use a big one, when a little filthy one will do."

~Johnny Carson

Yes, I know, I was MIA yesterday, because, well, I didn't wanna. I feel like I am one horrific Trump incident, from checking myself into Briarcliff! ( see American Horror Story/Asylum ) because the truth is, Tuesday kicked my ass! We won't even know for several days, or even weeks, what the what will be as far as the California races go. However, there are some things that seem clear right now. L.A. Mayor Karen Bass will go on to a runoff in November, but it hasn't been determined yet if Spencer Pratt is who she will be running against. Also, it's fairly clear, at least to me, that in the governor's race, Xavier Becerra and Steve Hinton will face off in the fall, as Tom Steyer is out of the running. Yikes. I have a knot in my stomach just thinking about it. But for right now I am not thinking about it, I'm concentrating on enjoying my summer, and not taking it all that seriously. I need to take my vitamins. Laugh as much as possible and enjoy life, because there will be a lot to fret about come the autumn. So, while I deal with the overwhelming brain drain I am experiencing, lets take a look back at the Johnny Carson show from November 12th, 1976. 

Frank Sinatra, Olivia Newton John and David Janssen!

True celebrity royalty!

How About A Nice Picture Of A Squirrel

 

"That women's got nuts lose in her brain, and a bunch of squirrels chasing after them."

~Sleyca

Yep, that just about sums it up.

I'm nuts!

This was a day on earth! Things are getting worse... apocalyptic in fact. 

So, I have nuts in my brain.
