Quiet Evening

It's been a busy couple of weeks! This evening I sat and looked out the window. Here is my few from my little nook where my desk is in the kitchen. Sure looks like early autumn! A few more weeks and this burning bush will all be red! Funny note, just after I snapped this picture, Marmalade walked by...on the roof along that gutter....wasn't quick enough with the camera to catch him. So far, they get down by themselves. Good thing! I'm not looking forward to climbing up there after them! Anyway, as I was saying, it had rained today and finally this evening the sun broke through. Nice long evening shadows. Can't wait to see these leaves turn color! From the back door I noticed the sun catching the tips of the wind chime. Then I heard someone knocking on the door. Oh, hello, Mustache!
On the back porch, looking around to my kitchen nook. I'm looking forward to sitting inside there with a cup of tea and doing some reading/editing for a friend tonight. Nice and relaxing.
Hope you have a relaxing evening, too!

  4. Kary ~ it was the perfect fall dinner! There's a damp chill in the air tonight! Having a cup of tea instead of the icecream...a sure sign that summer is over. :)

  5. I have my cup of decaf with French vanilla creamer and a shake of Saigon Cinnamon, a footstool to put my feet on, and a computer keyboard. Hubster and Hanners are watching a western. Tomorrow is Saturday already. :)

  7. A beautiful view, and yes those Burning Bushes can be spectacular in the Autumn...
    What are your plans with the kitties, are you trying to find them homes or do they already have a permanent home :)
    Supper sounds delicious, as does the cake, hope you have a relaxing evening nesting in your 'nook'

  12. So it's not just Tiger on the roof now?
    They all decided to get up and down some how?
    One of these days you'll hear meow after meow
    And you'll have to climb up swearing you'll disavow
    As once you get there
    They'll strut up with flare
    And get down themselves just fine
    Leaving you there on top the ladder all divine..haha
    That would be just like a cat
    To do something like that
    I have the same plan too
    To lay around and just view
    Is just fun
    Has to be done

  13. Pat ~ sounds like a lot of us are into being zombies tonight
    just too much work this week and now it's out of sight!

    Yep, I'm expecting a cat to get stuck any day now.
    They will cry and howl.
    If I have to climb the ladder
    I'll be sure to have my camera.
    hahaha.

  15. The "experts" are saying we won't have much fall color here because of the hot, dry summer :-(

  16. Beautiful pics, beautiful evening! Enjoy!

  17. Pictures of your backyard and garden always enchant me. I think I would love to ramble around back there, and then join you and the kitties for tea.

    We just got the kids tucked into bed, it'll be a quiet evening now... and I've got some Graeter's Toffee Chip in the freezer!!!

  18. I wasn't sure there was any "quiet time" around your house!! With a houseful of boys, I know you are plenty busy. Glad to see you are planning on a quiet, relaxing evening. Lovely photos. Mickie :)

  19. Hi Betsy .. not sure where you find the quiet time - but delighted to hear you can snatch some. Moustache and Marmalade will look good in the gloaming as the sun lowers and sparkles the trees - while the Red Burning Bush will be glorious - have a lovely weekend .. Hilary

  22. Ditto to what Silver Fox said. The wee wittle ones went home and I think we both are in a coma tonight. Clearing out the DVR and playing games on the iPhone, cleaning out the email and bored as can be. Wee wittle ones keep us on our toes chasing them to stay out of everything keeps one busy. Funny thing is that when we are doing all that chasing all we want is some peace and quiet. You know that saying; "Be careful what you wish for, you might get it." really applies to us. I like it best when they visit for a few hours and then goes home. Oh well, such is life, every minute with them is precious.

    Glad you had a nice relaxing evening, seems like you are always so busy that a relaxing night is a blessing for you.

    Enjoy!!!!

    God bless.

  26. My guess is that you don't get too many quiet evenings with your busy household. I know you enjoyed every minute.

  27. Corners ~ the boys even asked to go to bed early..on a Friday night! Who am I to argue with them? hahaha. It was nice, thanks.

  28. Mickie ~ we usually don't...that's why it was worthy of a post! lol... Well, it's usually quiet after 10pm and that's why I stay up way too late...to enjoy it.

  29. You array of pictures are so relaxing. This is a relaxing weekend end for us, as Aunt Trula's daughter from Bakersfield is staying with her, and giving us the weekend off.

    Will celebrate granddaughter Amanda's 18th BD tonight..Looking forward to her party.

    Love and Hugs

  32. I have a tree outside my living room window that I love to watch change colors. I don't know what it is—after 5 years it's really time for me to find out—but it goes through at least 4 changes, starting with leafy green and ending in a deep burgundy.

  35. The burning bush has a red heart. Just like the one at the bottom of your post. Lots of love to Betsy.
