Fall is actually in the air this morning! After yesterday’s 100 degree send off of Summer, it’s a welcome feeling! What does Fall mean to you? Here are a few pics from Falls past that sum up what it means to me…
Fall Flowers 💐 Bon fires 🔥 colorful foliage 🍁 decorating for Halloween 🎃 burning leaves 🍁 Football 🏈 cooler weather ❤️
What does Fall mean to you? What are YOUR favorite things about the Fall season?
Here is a link to the Farmers Almanac that really breaks down what the Equinox means –

Have a wonderful Equinox! Tomorrow the days will be shorter and the nights will grow longer all the way to the Solstice in late December.
Here’s to Fall 🍁🔥🎃🏈💥

Aren’t internal clocks great 😊 I was up very late last night/this morning (1:30am), visiting, talking and picking up from our annual Moonlight Pond Tour. And even though I had planned to ‘sleep in’ my eyes 👀 popped open like clockwork at 5am and I was wide awake… My internal clock must be a Timex 😊
And by all other accounts, it was a great week!
- I got to catch up with friends on the river
- Successful Pond Tour fundraiser
- The weather was great!
- A great friend turned 50!
But the 1st thing I thought about when my eyes opened this morning was what happened on this day in 2001… 9/11
A Heavy blow was struck against all Americans that day.
• 2,977 Americans were Murdered!
• 343 Firefighters died saving others! Many that survived are dying from cancer now at an alarming rate! Thank a Firefighter today…
But – We survived! We united! We rebuilt! 🇺🇸
All these other good things that happened for me this week, and every week before, and every day after today has been possible because of the sacrifices of past generations of Americans! We stand up! We fight for the freedom of others! We rebuild when things get torn down! God Bless America 🇺🇸
“Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul …”
~ William Earnest Henley
PS: Happy Birthday Sea Bass!

Jump down, turn around and it’s Waterfall Wednesday again! Todays waterfall is a night shot of a beautifully lit Waterfall at night, in honor of this weekends Moonlight Pond Tour!
If your like me, you work all day and have much more time to enjoy your Waterfall in the evening and at night. That’s why I always install lights on my Water Features. That way you get 2 ponds for the price of one – The Daytime Pond AND the Nighttime Pond 🌕
Come to the Moonlight Pond Tour this Saturday and you will see why the night pond is my Favorite!
Have a wonderful #Waterfallwednesday!
