The sun was out yesterday morning then it disappeared. My spirits were buoyed for a short time. We ran errands …mainly for the birds..needed Black Oil Sunflower Seeds and Sunflower Hearts as we use both in our feeders.
We stopped by a couple of garage sales. I got a box of Shiny Brite Christmas Ornaments for 50 cents!
No ice on the lake yet. Our whole world is either brown or grey.
Deer Hunting starts today. That will add a little Blaze Orange to the landscape. We don’t hunt anymore…we used to like just being in the woods…now we live in the woods. I have seen Deer Season bring us –20 F to 70 F (-28C to 21 C eh!) …and everything inbetween.
More Shiny Brites? I guess you can never have enough, eh? Your picture shows the season, all right. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe shiny brights should brighten up the gray and brown day!
ReplyDeleteI will send some of our sunshine to you as it has been sunny all week and summer like temps the sun is shining right now 7:51am cooler out then it has been 10C eh! 50F but not freezing like it should be for this time of year thank goodness. Oh more shiny brights awesome ! A mix of colours still here in the grasses but mostly browns with white I love the wild grasses at the end of the season as they look interesting and great to photograph with all the different textures and shapes . Thanks for sharing have a good weekend !
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing price for the lights. It's grey here too, but it's hot and grey, not a good mix.
ReplyDeleteWe had a few moments of sun yesterday late, but it rained hard overnight and is grey again today. We are nuts! Congrats on finding the ornaments at a bargain! I have up a new blog post if you get a chance to visit.
ReplyDeleteThere is a rainfall warning up here, so it will be a bit miserable. Lots of green grass though still and a few colourful trees still around.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's the gray rainy season for us in Oregon too.
ReplyDeleteWe still have fall...a few colorful leaves on the trees, weather in the fifties. We are storing up up memories of these days because we will be joining you in brown and gray by the end of the month.
ReplyDeleteThe worst colors...I don't care if they are in style!

Good score on the Shiny Brites! You have me looking for them now too, but since I don't collect them, I just think of you.
ReplyDeleteWe still have a lot of color, but also a LOT of gray.
How do you manage to find so many Shiny Brites? Do you have a lot of garage sales there? We don't have many at all. Another reason I love the midwest...lots of garage sales and the weather is always changing. I get bored down here in the summer.....hot and sunny day in and day out. I need the excitement of the weather up there! I still think it looks pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe same wild variation in temperature happens here in November. Today it is 12C eh? (54 F). the rest of the week will have highs of 2-3 C eh?
ReplyDeleteLike Karen commented, we're having heavy rain here today. I'm sure glad we have sandy soil or else the water would have nowhere to go!
ReplyDeleteGreat find, those Shiny Brites. GS season here is all done.
I would never have known about Shiny Brites except for your blog and now I can't wait for more stories about finding them and what you'll do next :-D.
ReplyDeleteWorld is grey and brown here too. And our deer hunt ended today.
ReplyDeleteI just love that hay bale Turkey in the banner!
ReplyDeleteWow. For only fifty cents?! You must have a special radar for those Shiny Brites.
ReplyDeleteMore Shiny Brites--cool! The sun tries to peek out between the clouds, but the clouds keep winning. I still think that's a lovely picture. :)
