Then you are the warm gulf wind

It’s a three-day weekend for me and the weather has suddenly changed. We have all of the windows shut because of the cold and today it’s supposed to rain. Yesterday went from a sunny morning to clouds later on and then back to sunny again in the late afternoon.

My husband made grilled cheese sandwiches and a salad with the last of the tomatoes that he found in the garden for dinner. I had mine with a bowl of Amy’s chunky tomato soup. Perfect for a Saturday night.

When I came home from work on Friday, I found this feather placed at my seat at the table.

My husband has always brought me feathers.

It came from one of these guys – the downy woodpecker.

Saturday morning was spent with coffee and my camera in my favorite spot on the patio while I put off my chores as long as I could. My husband had been up for hours and had a load of wash on the line and had just finished washing the cars.

It was a beautiful morning – so full of promise.

The leaves are beginning to turn and the dogwood is always the first.

I tried to capture some birds at the feeders and got a little wing action. But not much.

Morning glories on the wane.

I love the way they climb.

We had these in our salads at dinner.

After chores, I went back outside to relax. Yesterday I washed the kitchen floor on my hands and knees because it really needed it badly. I use a foam garden cushion when I kneel but my knees are really feeling it this morning.

But at least the floor is clean.

Too blown out on the light parts of the bird.

But the wing is pretty.

Leaving on a jet plane.

We’re on the flight path from the Philadelphia Airport.

Moon flowers in the morning.

And my favorite guy looking purdy. He was looking pretty bored when I shot the image prior to this, so I mentioned the word, ‘squirrel’ and he perked up.

Speaking of perking up, I heard this tune on my favorite radio station while driving home on Friday. I really like it.

:)

And if I am a sailor
You are the warm gulf wind
And you've blow into this little port
And roused my dreams again.

Enjoy your Sunday, all.

And a Happy Thanksgiving to our Canada friends ~
