The Fall of Summer...






John arrived home from his working trip to Asia on Friday night (thank you all for keeping me company while he was gone! Hugs and kisses for you all! xoxoxo) Today (Sunday) we celebrated by having a wonderful day luncheoning by the beach. We are now officially one week into Fall/Autumn, so I thought I'd show you what the seasons are like where I live. This is for all of you.......the Fall of Summer.

P.S. I had a lot more photo's for you, but blogger is giving me a hard time and it's taken numerous attempts over 5 hours to load just these few! Maybe tomorrow I'll have better luck loading more........#%&*@$%^&!! Blogger! lol

Good Morning Amanda,
I'm so glad that John made it home safely Friday evening. Oh my word, the pictures are just breathtaking. "THANK YOU" for sharing your part of the world with us. I always enjoy seeing pictures from the beautiful world of Down Under. I am just in awe at how beautiful the Sky and water are. Such a deep clean blue. I had problems with blogger yesterday morning on commenting. It would eat what I had typed and I had to start over again. It did that to me 3 times. We didn't get to move yesterday after all. I did put up some pictures of our girls in the Snow we got on Friday tho. We are just a couple of weeks away from Spring here. Take care my friend and have a great evening. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
Karen H.

Hi there :)
I didn't know what you meant when you said that where you lived was so different than where I lived until I clicked on your blog. Australia?! How wonderful! I've always had a fascination it. Now if I could just bring myself to sit on a plane long enough to get there ;) Beautiful pictures! I look forward to reading all about you and that magical place you live. Thank you so much for coming to see me.
Take care,
Rue :)

Your blue sky and blue ocean is the bluest I've seen. It is gorgeous. Ours is gray and dark blue. Our sky is very gorgeous in a deep bright blue, but not as bright as yours. Even though our ocean is gray, it is pretty in its own way. I love viewing yours and seeing the hand of God and the variety He has made. Enjoy your Sunday evening.

Is it okay that I hate you just a tiny bit? Okay, I don't really hate you, I'm just awfully jealous. Javier & I dream about living close to the ocean.

I'm glad your husband made it home safe & that you all all back together again.

Enjoy your week!

Nan said...

Wow........that's Autumn?

Have a blessed day sweetie! Love Sharon

Dear, dear Amanda,
Please don't share any more photos -- I don't think I can take it! LOL

The colors are SO beautiful! It's cold and gray here today, so your pics are like food to a starving woman. :)

Hi amanda,

What a gorgious photo's! I hope that spring will arrive here soon. it's been so grey and rainy here lately.
I have a lot of catching up to do on the blogs. Since recently I'm working full time instead of 15 hours a week plus we have our house on sale so I have to keep it very tidy and clean all the time. I hope to get used to all of this so I can get back to my hobbies also.
have a lovely weekend.

take care,
Monique.
