It’s definitely Fall. This morning’s photo comes with the added component of soggy, wet leaves which perfectly match the day ahead – 100% chance of rain. I think we’ll get rain off and on for the entire week.
Don’s headed into NYC for an audition this morning. He had a very good day yesterday at the Farmer’s Market. He loves his vintage camera and taking portraits. He’s such a people guy, so talking to people all day long – about the camera, about the special film he uses, asking them questions, getting them to pose in just the right way – is heaven. And he’s so good at it now; confident, understanding the light, just taking great portraits.
One of the women who works in the bookshop (an independent bookshop in the town just north of us where the Farmer’s Market is) took this photo of him the other day:
Now, I ask you: Isn’t he adorable? He got that hat in Edinburgh, by the way.
I know I have a bias, but gosh darn it, he’s the bees knees. I won the lottery the day I met him.
Not sure what’s on the docket today. I have to stop at the store and get a few things, as we can’t do our usual Monday morning shopping today since Don’s in the city. Maybe a drive? I’m trying to keep myself busy – always a good thing.
Happy Monday.
I was thinking with seeing rain in the forecast for CT that it was the end of the “leaf-peeping” season, which brings to mind my last vacation with my parents, visiting the NE.
Nice to see Don with nicely trimmed up whiskers and those apple cheeks (with a probable twinkle in the eye for you). Good hat, too.You both are lotto winners in my book.
We have spare-the-air day – the usual smell of burnt toast. Hoping it’s only one day.
I didn’t take the picture so I don’t think it was a twinkle in the eye for me!
Lots and lots of rain today. It’s coming down really hard at the moment. Thanks, Martha!
When your husband can garner such a compliment…you know you did the right thing all those years ago. Great picture of Don…love that hat, too!
It’s a gorgeous day here, so outdoor work is on the docket…just a few lingering projects. I plan on spreading them out over a few days, since the rain won’t be returning til Thursday. Enjoy your day! ;)
So rainy here today! I did get out to run some errands, but we’re tucked inside the house at the moment while the rains pours. Thanks, Donnamae.
you and don are blessed to have found each other. i am happy for you two!
glad he’s having fun and doing well with the photography. best wishes on the audition, too.
also, those are great photos of your fella and that magenta-y building on your property.
trust you’ll find something fun to do today. i’m off to look up the origin of that expression (“the bee’s knees”). :)

I took some pictures of him over a year ago with that building as the background – it photographs so well!
Thanks, Kathy.
That is a great photo of Don!
And as always, I’m enjoying your blog immensely. It’s the only blog I still read daily. I love both your writing and photography. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Lily!
I so look forward to your daily posts about your life. It is one of the best sites that I follow. Love all the pictures and how down to earth your life is. No bragging just showing what a loving husband and wife share. I wish you both joy and happiness always.
Oh thank you so much, Barbara! That means a great deal to me.
Definitely the Bees’ Knees! Love the cap and suspenders, too. And he is one lucky guy, too!
He is really loving his suspenders. He fell in love with them when he had to wear them in Margaritaville. Thanks, Shanna.
Yes he is adorable! Just looking at that picture, before reading the rest of your post, I was thinking how handsome he is! That’s a great picture of him and I don’t know if it’s the hat or the beard or what, but he’s looking quite dashing. You are a lucky lady!
I love that picture so much I would frame it.
My hubby loves his suspenders too!
He’s a keeper, Kimberly. Thank you!
I think you are as adorable as he is.
Aw…that’s very sweet of you, Cindi.
What a great picture of Don. He looks so happy and contented.

He does. He loves taking portaits, Marilyn!
OMYGOSH! he certainly IS the bee’s knees. LOL!
just as cute as he can be. he has such amazing STYLE. and it comes so easily to him.
it doesn’t look contrived. it’s just HIM!
we haven’t had any rain in forever so this post sounded wonderful to me.
I always love your pictures.
at least our temps are finally cooler. so am not complaining!
you two are the sweetest couple! you compliment each other.
or is it you complement each other? LOL! either way…
you’re winners! XOXO
Thank you, Tammy! I’m very, very grateful that we found each other.
He IS adorable! And it’s a wonderful photo. I love seeing his display — that’s very cool. And I hope the audition went well!
He said it went very well, but these things are a crap shoot. You never know what they’re looking for. Thanks, Jeanie.
Don is adorable and you are one lucky woman. He obviously feels the same about you.
I could the same about you and your love!
