Autumn colours in the city courtyard...




These photos were taken today in the courtyard outside where I work. This is a vine that is covering the fence and the red/gold/yellow/orange colours are lovely. This is my favourite time of year, crisp mornings, sunny days, cooler nights - awesome!

What's it like where you live right now?

Autumn colors are the best! When we traveled full time (living in our RV) we loved "chasing Fall" ... As we traveled to our winter destination, we would get to experience it in different locations ... It was wonderful!

It's full blown summer (it seems) here right now but I cannot wait for when we have this to see again.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
