A Beautiful Fall

Before we get to the fall photos I wanted to update you on my Grandma. Her surgery was cancelled tomorrow morning and rescheduled for next Tuesday. According to her insurance company, they did not receive the paperwork in order to approve surgery. According to her doctor's office they sent the paperwork last week. Very frustrating for Grandma.
Thank you everyone for your good thoughts, paws crossed, prayers, etc. It means a lot to know I have so many of you out there pulling for her. Now, keep it up till next week if you can......

Mom went for a long walk around our neighborhood yesterday (without me) and took some pretty photos of the trees. She has loads of photos so you will probably be seeing these throughout the week.
Don't you love the contrast in some of the colors? This fall has been extremely beautiful in our part of the country due to all the rain we had this summer.
This is the view down my street....
With such beauty around us we thought it was important to share it, especially since not everyone gets to see fall where they are.
I will be back tomorrow with some more photos for you and some that include the enemy!

    Hi Twix!

    Boy what pretty leaves, we had a lot of rain this year to and also had some nice leaves but I think you had some more contrast to your leaves.

    Sorry your grandma has to wait longer, the hardest part is the waiting, but we are still crossing paws for her.

    licks and sniffs, Sasha

    You live in a very beautiful area.
    We love autumn's colors, too. Mom wanted to dye her hair in one of these colors once. And she loves when she opens her wardrobe and autumn's colors clothes invite her to wear it. Lovely.

    Sorry to hear about the delay with your Grandma's surgery, the waiting to get it done and over with is the most anxious part. She will be in my prayers still.

    What gorgeous photos of gorgeous Fall leaves!! We get color like that up here in our trees, but the past two Saturdays we had some big rain storms with lots of wind and sadly a lot of the leaves are off the trees now :(

    We know your Grandma is frustrated - drat that insurance company!!

    The leaves are beautiful - we didn't get a lot of color this year - just a lot of wind and rain.

    XOXO

    Lovely photos. Your mom is talented with that camera. I hope your Grandma gave the insurance company a piece of our minds. I know I would have probably needed to do that, if it were me.

    Andy found another enemy. There was a flock of buzzards in the yard yesterday morning. He chased them away, barking and growling. When they flew, he jumped straight up and down to make sure they understood it's HIS yard and they're NOT welcome. Wish I could've gotten pictures.

    Hi Twix,

    Those trees look like the ones we have around here. They sure are purdy! Mom raked some leaves the other day and me and Banjo played hide and seek.

    Waggles,

    Tough to need medical care these days, someone always has an excuse for the mistakes. HOpe things go better for Grandma next week.

    Lovely colors we have had this year in the KC area, one of the nicest we can remember.

    Great foliage, Twix's mom! My human goes nuts for those colors, too.
    She will pray for your grandma and my paws will be crossed extra tight that all goes well for her next week. Must be so frustrating to have to postpone; will send peaceful vibes over her way. If you give her extra snuggles, I'm sure it will help.
    Your pal,
    Sedona
