Good Year Ending....sigh

Fall passed me by without my grabbing onto the time and making the most of it. Too many photos missed and moments spent sitting in the comfort of buildings working away, or resting/wasting away time. Fall colors were bright for the Pacific Northwest with a very long fall.

The fall flowers held on forever! I've gathered and spread seeds heads in new beds. Hopefully they may sprout and bloom within my lifetime.

Lost my rescue dog, Kota to heart disease. Decided to down size from dobies to something smaller. Rescue dog Amber came into our lives. What a charmer! She had extreme knee problems and had her first surgery before Christmas.

Almost didn't do a Christmas tree, but decided on a small one and got out the butterfly decorations to adorn it, and the rest of the living room (house plants and all).

Life has been very good to us this last year and am looking forward to another gem of a year as my garden/life plans unfold. Best wishes for all and may a very good new year be unfolding for all.

The fall anemones and acer leaves are just as lovely as can be, Jewell.
I always enjoy your posts and this time is no exception. Lots of nice foto's and it sounds like you are doing well and ready for the new season to begin.

Very nice posting.

Love your pretty Autumn colors, and the Christmas decorations Jewell! Sorry for your loss, I'm certain Kota is missed. Amber looks like a sweetie, she'll find out how lucky she is!
