WOW it's been almost an entire week since I posted! My goodness, I didn't plan on that. I had tried to make the rounds to everyone and haven't succeeded at that yet and my posting has suffered as well.
Today was such a beautiful day that I decided to take some pictures around my area, I even took a picture of the digital clock at a local business that has the temperature as well. Don't know if you can read that but it says 79 degrees! On Oct. 21 it got up to about 80, in Northeast PA. That's just crazy!
I went for a little ride to take some pictures of the foliage but I think that the rain we had the other day pretty much knocked the rest of the leaves off and we are done for the season. It's still pretty beautiful though, not as nice as my Vermont but close. ;)
When I got home I took some pictures around the property, the leaves still seem to be glowing on the trees. The sunlight was coming through and this shot was just perfect.
The leaves that are all over the ground in the front garden, I almost don't want to pick them up because they make the ground glow with a golden light.
The front porch is starting to look a little spooky, gotta dress it up a bit more, just haven't had the time.
I took Marley out on the back property, she loves to play in the stream.
Winston was waiting for us when we came back.
I was also able to get into my art room and work on some pieces, they're small 1x1's I have to solder them but I'm waiting for a few more supplies to come before I get to that, so I decided to just churn those out and then solder them all later. I manged to even get a Christmas one done.
I want to thank everyone for all the helpful hints and great advice on my living room. I have had that furniture in every possible corner and angle in that small little room. I usually move it to this position in the Fall/Winter because of the heating vents, so I'm not blocking all of them. I also change the curtains from Rachael Ashwell's Shabby Chic ruffled Voile paired with British Rose panels. I also slipcover the sofa in the British Rose pattern. In the Fall I like the reds and the velvets. I got some great advice and I am going to put it to work. :) Now if I could just get that sofa.......

Hey Michelle: Glad you didn't forget about us out here in blogland. I think we in Western PA are a little behind you folks in the east. Our foliage is still pretty vibrant. I'm hoping to take my camera outside tomorrow and get some foliage shots. It was rather warm today in the Pgh area also...not sure just how warm it got, but I quickly shed my sweatshirt for a t-shirt as I was working around the property. I'll be so spoiled by the time winter finally arrives.
It was glorious in Pa this weekend! We had a couple of our kids stop by with their spouses and a friend. So we grilled some chicken, kielbasa and zucchini and enjoyed another lazy afternoon on the back porch....oh how I wish these moments would never end..sigh.....
I love your decorated front porch! You have to take a picture of it if you add more to it, I like the vintage pictures. I haven't done anything to my front porch yet at all!

Oh I'm having a terrible time getting around to visit everyone too. There just isn't time enough to do everything, is there?! Don't worry about us..we'll be here. Your doggies are cute. Our shih tzu just got a too short hair cut so she kinda looks like a chipmunk right now. The weather... what in the world is going on? We had high 70's yesterday and today is just high 50's. Wierd! But it was so lovely yesterday that I just basked in it! Have a wonderful night. Blessings... Polly
Your doggies are adorable! Don't worry about making the rounds more often than is humanly possible! :-) You are a busy gal!

Hi Michelle,
Love your fall pictures. We don't really get much of a season change out here so it's nice to enjoy it through my friends in blogland :) I hope all is going well with your new job :)
Hugs,

You definitely have more color across the state than we do over here. Lucky!
I think it's hilarious that your dog is doing yoga. And that's exactly what she looks like she's doing. Cracking me up!
Love,
Julie
