What wonderful pictures Colleen. I love the one with socks on! A sure sig that fall is upon us! (It's been beastly hot here and humid, too....typical September weather for here....)

These pictures certainly tell the story. Our thermometer says 58! I have already made my first fresh apple pie of the season, and our woodshed is definitely half empty! Bring on the autumn, I believe we are all ready for it.

Depends on whether you're taking wood out or putting it in. Putting wood in=half-full. Taking it out=half empty. (Just like the glass; whether it's half-full or half-empty depends on whether you're drinking or pouring.)

Great photos, Colleen and each one is so appropriate to the coming days of autumn. While it's getting a tad cooler here in Florida...it's still not cool enough for those socks. Send more cool air down my way!

It has gotten chilly here, too. I just LOVE fall.
The woodshed is always half-full. ;)

Definitely some familiar and welcomed sights of Autumn. Love your pictures. The composition is great as well as the concept.

This makes me long for the way autumn comes in over the mountains...it's just so different here. One day it's summer, and then you wake up, and it's winter.
Is that an apple tree?

Half full!
Great photos, ah yes I can feel the change in the air but I LOVE this time of year. It is after Halloween that it goes down hill for me until Spring.
If you lived here with Toonces you'd have those socks on all the time. His wide open air conditioning blows on my feet here at my desk and only socks can save me...that and sneaking and turning the air off!

Love the fruit. Apples and peaches are the best part of this time of year!
Thanks for visiting my blog!

The green apples are from a tree in our yard. I'm very excited because it's the first year it has produced fruit. It only took 10 years to do that!

I heart socks! And the woodshed is half full, look, you only have a bit more to go :-)

How wonderful to find beauty, humor and pathos in your everyday objects. We all have them, but how often do we really look??

You have forgotten the most important sign of the times--the kids going back to school! I've been watching that sign for 12 years, and I have another 10 coming!

Looks like the woodshed is 1/3 full......LOL

I think the shed is half empty if you have to cut and stack, but it is half full if you just pay someone else to do it. And it's completely full if you don't mind burning the shed too.

Half empty. Must fill up for the winter. ;)

Lovely bright photos.

Love the shots! And I like the face-off between your sock-clad feet and the watermelons. :)
