November

It's been a whirl of a summer. Besides great family times,

other memories of the summertime include:
The Beach,

Nail painting parties,



Kayla,



















Bob and Geo, (you had to be there to witness that!)

 The passing of a dear friend....

Carrie

and the absence of another....



Watercolor with MaryJo,

 

rocking out with the lulu's,

..Elk River 2 (and beyond,)

Big trucks moving dirt,

 Sunflowers,

 Fishing trips,

 Ethnic gatherings,

 spur of the moment Montana treks,

parties in the parks...

JoAnne on her  birthday at Manito.

apples,                                                                                                .              

                                                                                               

 kids..                                                                                                           .

and cats....

(lots  of them!}

Now, it's long into November.  the colors of autmn are turning into browns... fall is settling in.  

Soon there will be snow that sticks around.



Looking around at the brown, I have nearly forgotten what summer was like exactly... and I find myself wondering what the winter will bring.

Seasons bring a time of adjustment, don't they?
