A touch of Autum

The days now begin a little cooler than they have in the summer. There is a thin mist that envelops everything in the evenings and lasts until mid morning. The trees are tinged with gold and shades of brown.

The garden has given its best and is now basically finished. It is populated by the last few tomato plants and the sunflowers. The once magnificent bright yellow blooms have faded and hang listlessly from the now yellow stalks. They remind me of a row of mourners in a funeral procession.

We have completed a few tasks inside the house. That leaky kitchen faucet has been replaced, even though we have not as yet done the rest of the things we want/need to do in regard to that. A big plus was replacing the toilet with one that does not require 5 gallons of water per flush.

I understand that these old style toilets are somewhat of a hot commodity for some. So if you are in the market for an old style toilet, circa 1960’s, no chips, no cracks, no stains and avocado green in color, let me know! We can also complete the look with a matching bathroom sink and tub.
