131 Years

We are so dry, so very dry. 

The leaves have turned but they have dried up on the trees.


So what falls is already dried. There is an outdoor fire ban on everything. They are saying it is the driest in 131 years. (not sure how they really know)
But we had a very wet spring, I hope that off sets it. But we are praying for lots of rain before the ground freezes for the winter. 

My fairy roses are still blooming the weather has been so beautiful, warm, and summer like. 

We are under a frost warning tonight. So, the few pots I have still going I have covered to keep them. The weather will go back to 70s and 80s, so I am trying to stretch them for a few more days. 

Ok sky #4 and I think voila I have found it! It does not show up here but the hooking on the right is the old sky, the hooking on the left is the new sky. It has pinks and blues but muted. I finally feel good about it. 

Wise words
****
Friday is our 50th anniversary. We have asked our daughter and family for their time. No parties or gifts just their time. To us this 
is the perfect anniversary. 
Have a wonderful week.

The water wording reminds me of what Clint Eastwood says about aging and one I try hard to work on ... Clint says, "don't let the old man in". I'm trying desperately to not let the old lady in.
Congrats on a long lived anniversary.

Hey Cathy! I wondered too how they got to 131 years. Was there a records each year? Maybe. One year we have a pretty red, pink and stunning skies and were told the same thing happened, 100 years ago. And I'm like, dang, who keeps track? Neato.

Happy Anniversary! I agree that time is the best gift.
It's so very dry here too, and our leaves are falling already dried up too.

Congratulations! 50 years is wonderful. I am very happy for you. I hope you get rain soon. Dry falls are a bummer. Funny how things are so different. It has been a very wet year overall for us.
