This photo was taken at least a week ago...maybe longer. I just went and checked...October 2...so yeah, it is over a week old. Can you see the 4 guests that it has. One of them is a bit hard to distinguish but it is there. I actually thought there was a 5th but I was wrong. Anyway, I love goldenrod...
It has rained a bit today. You would not believe the big old leaves that are on the ground. Last year, they literally disintegrated while still on the trees from all the dry weather. That will not be the case this year. While the only tree we have in our yard is a dogwood, our yard has the most leaves of any place around.
We went to our daughters' houses yesterday....there were so many beautiful trees along the way. I so miss being able to ride shotgun and take photos along the way. Normally I can still sort of do that with my point and shoot because there will be spells of no traffic. Not so yesterday. I was behind someone all the way there and back yesterday, or if not behind someone, leading the way for others. But mostly, behind people.

I wish I had the energy to start my other blog again but I am beginning to wonder will I ever get back on track. Roger is still doing pretty good, but in some areas he lost ground and just does not seem to gain it back.
We are making a big life change, or in the early stages of it. IF I can live through it. If we succeed, it will be a while down the road. Either way, at some point I will tell what it is.
I will leave you with a little video I just found:
I can see all four of them! My guess about your big change is that you may be moving?
ReplyDeleteI love that pup! Fingers crossed on the big change. ❤️
ReplyDeleteSometimes we just have to concede that 'normal' has changed! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteNot hardly any rain here today, but very windy and gloomy.
Lovely flowers in full bloom
ReplyDeleteI love Goldenrods too and I see four insects on it too. Goldenrod are so pretty in a bouquet.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing a big move to something smaller to reduce your work load. Change is always stressful.
I also enjoyed the video.
Take care and God bless
Hugs,
Julia
Sweet puppy!! Now you piqued my curiosity! What, oh what will be the big change?
ReplyDeleteEven though it has been terribly dry here, goldenrod seems to have thrived. Even though yellow isn't my favorite color in the garden, I will admit to loving it in the wild. I also enjoy riding shotgun and taking in every scene along the way.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing a field full of goldenrod. It's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your big change. I hope all goes well for you.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteThe goldenrod is a lovely color, I found the four insects. Best wises on your change, I hope all is good. Take care, enjoy your day!
Sometimes the new normal is hard to accept. Those of us that are of a certain age seem to be wrestling with this process.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that Roger seems to be holding his own and that it will spark some renewed strength for you too. You have piqued my wondering what the change will be.
Goldenrod and the critters are lovely but my nose thinks otherwise...achoo.
Sue
Wow, I wrote a whole comment and it disappeared.
ReplyDeleteGoldenrod is so pretty but my nose doesn't like it at all...Achoo !!
So glad Roger is doing better..prayers continuing.
Looking forward to finding out what your big change will be.
Sue
i watched the video twice once with bob. melted my heart. i had to search to find bug #4 but I did it. i love golden rod also. prayers for the change that is coming
ReplyDeleteI too found all four. I also love golden rod. Sounds like moving is in you future.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy this time of year, the colours are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a move may be in your future plans ...
Take care, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
I have always enjoyed seeing the goldenrod since I was a kid. I remember picking it and bringing inside of a bouquet. You have a great photo of it.
ReplyDeleteGoldenrod is beautiful. I did find its guests.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your new plans. I hope everything works out well for you both. Mxx
ReplyDeleteAutumn gives us a wonderful time - full of strength and color - but also a goodbye mood... a good time to start something new. I wish you lots of energy and happiness. Viola
ReplyDeleteThinking of you with all those changes you will be making and wishing you all the very best of things. That’s a great photo of the Goldenrod and its visitors.
ReplyDeleteCute video of the dog. Such a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteLife is ever-changing and we are constantly having to cope with it all. After clearing out my parents house after mom died and looking around my house I am overwhelmed by the enormity of ever being able to get my Roger to part with anything! Taking small steps might be the way to go. I look forward to seeing your quilt.💖
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the pretty yellow goldenrod, as we're without flowers here now. I've raked twice so far and the leaves are almost down in the front yard; the back takes longer to turn and drop. So pretty soon all the trees will be bare and we will be totally colorless.....I hate that. So your bright goldenrod brighten the day. Good luck with whatever life style change is coming about.

Thinking about you and Roger a lot and wishing you both the very best. Life changes are challenging that’s for sure. Your yellow goldenrod sure is pretty. We have fallen leaves everywhere in our area, people are having a hard time sweeping them up. It may be my imagination but they seem more vibrant colors this year.
ReplyDeleteYou two continue to be in my thoughts. How's Roger? Quilting some are you?
ReplyDeleteBe well.
Waving hi as I make my blog rounds, hope all is well with youi.
ReplyDeleteMissing you, Rose. I hope all is well. Hugz, Mxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Rose. I was wondering how things were (I never published your first comment, I thought you might like it kept private). My thoughts are with you both, Mxx
DeleteWaving hi again as I make my blog rounds, hope all is well with you.
