GOLD!!!

Look what our big beautiful maple tree has left us! And we just cleaned up leaves last weekend.
I love the way it looks when my yard and deck are covered in leaves! I think I will just let them be for a while. This year they didn't get much orangey or red color-lots of gold. Unfortunately it is pouring down rain and may be a wet trick or treat for all the little ghouls and goblins tonight here in the Cottage Lake area.

Such is life in the forest of the Pacific Northwest! I have a terrible yucky flu bug and am taking myself straight away to bed. Someone else will be answering the door tonight if there are any brave enough to go out in this mess. Of course I will have my trusty lap top to cruse the Internet when I get bored. Or maybe I will catch up on some crocheting? Or even some much needed extra sleep-awww yes that sounds so wonderful! Lucky girl I am my hubby is home today and is caring for me. I will have endless cups of herbal tea with my lozenges and meals delivered to me in bed. What more could a sick girl wish for?

Wishing you all in Blogland a Happy Halloween and a fabulous weekend!
