Before The Leaves Had Fallen
Mr. DIY is at the Mountain Cottage this weekend working on miscellaneous little projects.
I stayed at home because I am experiencing a couple of days feeling unwell. Theres nothing like being in your own home and having access to all things familiar to help you feel better. Ill be fine in a couple of days -
As most of you know, Ive been recovering from lyme disease since last December and Im happy to report that the last 2 weeks Ive been feeling REALLY good for the first time in a long time. My current situation is just a response to a course of antibiotics, but I should be back to feeling good in a couple of days. Ill update you with more details on my other blog My Healing Lyme Journal in a couple of days...I promise.
In the meantime, I wanted to share some of the beauty seen at the Mountain Cottage in the past few weeks...
Ive shared this one before - We pulled up to the house late afternoon several weeks ago and I had to get out and take a photo.

We usually take photos of the view of the mountains from the covered porch, but I was down in the yard and I included a few from there.


The noble fir is getting tall. Its looks tiny standing next to the oak tree next to it, but I think its about 9 ft tall now. Next year we may cut it down and bring it home for Christmas. We have something planned for this area eventually, but for now, well let it grow. Well be cutting down a different noble fir thats growing in between some Burning Bush shrubs for one of our trees this year.



and the same view from the side of the house.

Most of the leaves have fallen at our home and Im so glad! It rained for over a week and plastered all the leaves onto the grass and bare areas. Mr. DIY and I spent 3 evenings blowing leaves off of the lawn. We still have all of the flower beds to do, but Im so happy they are off of the lawn.

Im counting my blessings during this season of Fall.
Hope you are, as well.
