I guess it's fitting weather for the fall equinox, the day when the daylight and darkness are equal, the first day of autumn. There will be more sunny days, but they will no longer have the warmth of a summer day. For that we will have to wait many months now. Maybe that's why spring is so lovely here - to make it worth waiting for.
Thankfully, there are wonderful colors and occasions to anticipate as nature gets ready for winter here in the Pacific Northwest. Leaves are just beginning to color up, and the show should last into November. I'm thinking pumpkins. There's just something about that lovely orange color that makes it OK to replace the geraniums on the porch with those glowing globes.
Today we will be meeting up with Jill and the kids to do a house inspection on the home she hopes to buy. Her offer has been accepted. Now we see if the house needs more work than we anticipated. We are hopeful, but holding off on our excitement until the deal is done. It has been a long haul finding a home, with many disappointments along the way. Maybe today will mark a new beginning as well as an ending.
Several years ago Tom and I were on the Oregon Coast on the day of the equinox. The sun was shining. I recorded the sun going down on summer between the Twin Rocks.
Enjoy.
Good luck to Jill. I was so excited and overjoyed when we bought our house. The kids did cartwheels in our new living room, something they could not do in our small condo.
ReplyDeleteLove these pictures. Yes, fall in the Pacific Northwest is a wonder of color - almost enough to get us through the long gray days of winter.
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well with Jill's house. The sunset photos are awesome:)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I have one thing to say about those pictures: OH! OH! OH! And... WOW!
ReplyDeleteI do hope the home thing turns out, and I'm also hoping that when I tune in to find out how the Seahawks did today, it will be me smiling about your happiness. We are sisters of another mother... I'm convinced of that, Linda. :-)
Those are very nice pics.
ReplyDeleteGood bye Summer--sad to see you go. It was a beautiful and productive Summer for me. Hopefully Autumn will be as enjoyable. MB
ReplyDeleteMakes me sad that summer is gone. But I love your pics! Fingers crossed for Jill.
ReplyDeletein the hot desert where I live, fall is RELIEF! My favorite season...
ReplyDeleteSpectacular sunset pictures in a perfect setting. WOW.
ReplyDeleteThe sunset pictures should soften the first day of fall.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, awesome photos, Linda!!! Wow! I am keeping my fingers crossed for Jill and kids. I've heard that homes are now hard to come by. It's terrible in Hawaii. I hope the home is close to yours.
ReplyDeleteHope all went well with Jill's home inspection! So sad to see summer go but I'm a huge fan of fall; winter, not so much.
