Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

Ours are gone too now...I'm just late uploading the pics. They got even prettier after I had taken this pics because we finally got some rain...that really seems to make the leaves take on a deeper hue.

Whatever. You surely do have a lovely landscape around you. We are mostly farm and field with lots of neighbors and few lovely secret places such as you show.

Oh bee, those are beautiful pictures. I can't imagine what it's like to be surrounded by all that beauty. I especially like the one with the road. I have this thing for solitude paths. I would love to walk on that road all by myself and just feel the peace and beauty all around me.

I need to figure out how I can make a large print of that picture.

@Beekissed , your glowing fall foliage is this weeks POW!

How cool! I can't see it on my screen just yet but I'm sure I will eventually. I miss fall already....there's nothing quite like seeing the woods filled with flame and gold all around and the evening sunlight gilding it all, it's nigh breathtaking.

Miss Mary, if you blow it up and look closely, you'll see a brown animal in the road way ahead...that's my dog Jake, going before us. He loves his walks to the mailbox and back~he's a traveling kind of dog.

What a difference a day or two makes. Friday I went out to take this photo of our witch hazel tree in full bloom. Saturday found the family digging out from between 15 and 17 inches of the white stuff.

DH has doctor's orders to not shovel anymore. Needless to say, he went out and shoveled for about 45 minutes Saturday before the Grands woke up. He came back in, sat down for a hot breakfast -- oatmeal and coffee -- when he seemed to suffer an 'event' that reinforced the need to keep him from the snow.

I had considered that the doctor didn't realize how much hard work Clayton is used to doing as well as how healthy his heart and body are when he said, "No more shoveling". What I didn't think of was the more fragile state of his brain. The risk of another stroke is too great. He might be allowed to shovel a small area of an inch or two of snow, but 15 inches of heavy, wet stuff won't happen again!

Here is the blooming thing now.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Don't use that kind of language on TEG........

Your witch hazel blooms in the fall Red? I have only seen them bloom in late winter/earliest spring here. It looks better with no snow too, I think.

Sorry to hear about the necessary restrictions on your dh. It seems like he's the kind of guy that will really miss that kind of labor. I wish you well.

I didn't know they bloomed in the fall either...how strange!

We got our first few spits of snow today!!! Nothing stuck, but it's still snow and good to see.
