Autumn approaches

I think we are finally approaching fall--the nights have turned cooler, and the days are still, sigh, hot hot hot. But we will weather the heat, and watch the colors on the trees turn to gold, shades of red, and finally brown, before they drop. Poison ivy and sumac are both beautiful to see with their deep red leaves in the fall, but not something you want to use as indoor decor. Our hummingbirds are really hitting the feeders, getting ready for their trip south. Now our cat wants to help them on their way, but she is limited by the screens on "her" porch. At least we can once more enjoy our porch, instead of being driven in by the heat. Hurry, autumn!

Book Pages--I just read a purely "escape" novel, and wanted to share it--Shoe Addicts Anonymous--by Beth Harbison. If you read Jane Heller, this is another one of those witty chic-lit books. It's about four women addicted to shoes and shoe buying. Out of desperation, one of the ladies starts a club for her addiction, and they all find friendship, therapy, and finally shoe/financial success through their addiction. Read it and laugh!
