Fall Rapidly Coming to a Close

This year has flown by.  I know I say that every year, but truly, this year went by extremely fast.  I was in Bourne Village one early morning and loved how this shadow looked.

The 26th was another nice day...comfortable enough to wear shorts and take a long walk around town.

Such pretty mums!

We may not have the impressive foliage of northern New England, but it's still wicked pretty.

Betty Ann's ice cream closed for the season.

I almost stepped on this bugger! I think it's a praying mantis.  It was scurrying across the sidewalk.  I'm glad I noticed it!

Funky old car.  It was loud too.

Oak leaves

Burning bush in my back yard.

Beautiful Fall!

The leaves started changing close to the end of September, which seems to me to be a bit early.  Everything is going into fall mode and it's pretty!

Pokeberries which are very poisonous to pets and people, and my yard is full of them.  Luckily my dogs show no interest in them and they haven't been a problem.

More berries in my yard.

We went to Hyannis one day for lunch and I spotted this in the median strip at a stop light.  It says, 'A man name Charles Osborne had the hiccups for 60 years!'  

We ate at the Brazilian Grill, on Main Street Hyannis.  It was really good.  Their buffet/salad bar is awesome, and they also bring all kinds of meat around to your table and slice piece off for you.

September came to a close with some very warm days.  I went for a short walk downtown on one of those days.  For some reason the 80 degrees felt more uncomfortable in September than it did in July.

So cute!

I love mums.  I wish I could keep flowers alive.
