I don't know about you but now that we're a few days into the month of September I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that soon the leaves will be falling and the air will turn crisp. Don't get me wrong I adore autumn, but on the inside I just can't believe it's that time already. Where did summer go? So today in order to get myself in the mood for fall I've looked for some inspiration to get my fall creative juices flowing and hopefully jump-start my enthusiasm. Some breathtaking views should help . . . Source Unknown Source Unknown I'll need to shop for some mums . . . Source Source And of course more pumpkins than I can carry . . . Source Source I'll need some plaid of course . . . Source Source Unknown And it's not Fall without collecting some pretty leaves . . . Source Unknown Source If I'm lucky, maybe some cute critters will stop by to make me smile . . . Source Source I think it's working . . . I can feel my excitement rising. I know one thing for sure - - on the first chilly night I'll be having one of these in the backyard . . . Source Have a great day everyone, Robin
Turkey-Neck, Maudie and Red Girl (left to right) are eating cracked corn in our barn on a snowy February afternoon. Our barn was built in 1869-1871 from timbers cut and marked at a sawmill (probably on the Delaware River) and hauled to its location in northern Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It contains round-cut and crosscut timbers. Strobist info is in a comment below.

Totally SFW. A random collection of the most beautiful things I can find. Some pictures are mine, most are not, and if I've posted something of yours you want removed, please let me know. Outdoors is the best place to be, no matter where you live...
A raging thunder storm drove me into the house today, so instead of doing laundry, I decided to blog. But then I fell asleep while my photos were uploading so I'm going to bet I don't get this post done until tomorrow when it will no longer be Thunder Storm Day. It bothers me to say "today" in a post when it's really tomorrow by the time I get around to publishing. At the moment it's still today, but by the time you read this it will be tomorrow, and the Thunder Storm Day will be yesterday. Capiche? It's been just like the movie Groundhog Day around here for the last couple weeks. With a few exceptions, every day is the same. I truly don't know how to make endless days of gardening sound even a little bit interesting, so I won't even try. Dirt, flowers, water, fertilizer, sunscreen, filthy overalls. Living the gardening dream. I'm getting close though...hopefully I'll be all done by the end of the week. It hasn't been all gardening fun and games though. I managed to sneak in a couple more photo shoots for the clothing boutique in town. This first shoot was on a gorgeous, gorgeous evening, and we were just killing time on the dock waiting for the sun to mellow out a bit. The lighting was harsh, but I still love how they turned out. (The above photos are processed with Florabella's Retro Lollipop action.) For the store, we needed to pick photos that really show off the clothes and accessories, so the following three shots are the ones that made it into the boutique. Katy was the easiest model ever. Every single shot was a keeper. It was hard to choose, but I love the combination we ended up with. This was so much fun....I could do it all day. All day, every day. But then, who would do my gardening? And put off going to the post office to return my six extra dresses? Most importantly, who would not cook dinner for my family? Happy Day After Thunderstorm Day!
