Redding's Ups and Downs

The colors, the cool nights.  What a great time of year.  Special to me for many reasons.  The hot summer is over. Yippee! My father, first son, and first grandson were all born in October.  Plus my mom and dad were married October, 1945.  Looking out our window, overlooking Redding, the leaves are just starting to change color.  By Thanksgiving, our   window will frame nature's work of art.

Shopping has never been my first love.  But if shopping is on the agenda, I like looking for my grandsons and home accents the most.  The autumn colored candles, Halloween decor, and soft cozy pillows are just too much to resist.

Many of the birds that live at our home in summer are beginning to migrate.  I will miss them until they return in spring.
