I have spend 2 days just putting away outdoor furniture, taking care of the hanging plants and window boxes...just the clean up before it gets so cold that I freeze my fingers taking care of all this stuff!!
It seems like I just got all these things out and set up for the summer, and where did the summer go ?
I am tired, and not done yet!!
Last night had me pretty wound after a police officer responded to the wrong address and I ended up with a gun pointed straight at me with the announcement "police"!! I was scared s---less to say the least!!
Totally unnerved me so didn't sleep so great....and I didn't even get an apology, "that really upset me" ... OKAY I am done and ready to post some peaceful, calming photo's !!
"A soft cradled landing"
"Blow gently with the wind"
"Holding strong to the very end"
"Sleeping safe and warm by the fire" (on a sheep fleece no less)
Promise of a better tomorrow!!
beautiful photos! sorry about the extra stress! yikes!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. Yes to much stress is not good hope all pans out. Have a good eve.
ReplyDeleteI would have been frazzled to the bone.. They really should have apologized.
ReplyDeleteYour images are great. Love the happy sleepy kitty and that fabulous sunset. Beautiful!
Grace, the photos are peaceful looking especially the kitty stretched out by the fire. Cats surely have the right idea on how to enjoy themselves! As for that unapologetic police officer, my advice is to go and file a complaint with the police dept or municipality. Of course, this could make you subject to further harrassment. On the other hand, maybe you would get an apology which is certainly most called for it would seem.
ReplyDeletethat last one is just gorgeous!!
ReplyDeletewe had a similar experience once, cops pounding on our door, 3 a.m., stating they recieved a 911 call from our residence, soooo stressful!!
rest easy tonight my friend, it's good to see you!!
So sorry you had to go thru that! What a terrible thing to happen. Your images are stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe police visit would be scary. Love your gentle photos,each one is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa...Thanks you so much!
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine..Thanks!!
Thank you Laura...I totally agree!!
Hi B...yes my kitty makes me feel comfy when she is all snozed out!
I am looking into some kind of explanation!! Thanks
Thanks so much Debbie..good to be back ..miss you all!!
Hi Kerri ...Thank you so very much!!
Very kind Ruth ..thanks!!
Oh dear Grace - what an awful experience - I'm glad you are ok.
ReplyDeleteThat would've been so frightening!!
Praise God he did no harm to you!
I LOVE the photo of that gorgeous cat sleeping on the fleece - what a life lol!
Sounds to me like you could do with some lovely restful downtime in front of the fire too!
Take care, my friend.
God bless you..Trish
Great images......good job you took them before the boy in blue turned up. You ought to have asked for his picture.
ReplyDeleteGrace, it sounds like you're hunkering down for winter?
ReplyDeleteThat deal with the cop sounds like a pretty frightening experience, but did you ask, he might have been an early trick or treater?...lol
A great set of images, I really like the first one it just says Autumn.
Now, a sheepskin rug and a nice warm fire, looks just purrfect to me, I'll have to give it a go!...[;o)
Sometimes those unexpected moments are a little difficult to 'take in stride'!! But your photos are very calming and beautiful and I'm sure you take great pleasure in going back through them and picking just the right ones to share.
ReplyDeleteHi, Grace, I'm back. Wanted to invite you over to my other blog to go for a walk with me through the forest! ~karen (kaholly)
ReplyDeleteGrace, I am glad for you after such an unpleasant experience. Remarkable adjustment on your part to post such lovely pictures with beautiful captions. Thank you, for sharing. Take care.
ReplyDeleteLove that sunset! What a post! I can't imagine having a cop pointing a gun at me.....scary! You deserve an apology! Love your cat....I have one that lays just like that :-) Winter is coming, but we don't have to like it :-( Not ready for it and don't want to get ready yet.
ReplyDeleteHey Grace I just knew they would catch up with you eventually - there speaks the voice of experience, LOL. A great sunset shot to finish though and I hope tomorrow is better. You're spot on about where did the summer go and I'm already dreaming about a winter break in the Canary Islands - didn't you just know there would be a bird in there somewhere?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos !...and that extra stress...
ReplyDeleteyikes!! THAT's scary! guns are scary...esp to have one pointed at you!! hopefully that anxious feeling will fade...
ReplyDeleteLOVE your relaxing photos!! and LOVE the autumn feel here!! tomorrow will always be better...(if today just wasn't good enough!) :)
Grace,
ReplyDeleteHow frightening for you....and no apology, shameful.
No wonder you had a restless night.
Lovely images.......gorgeous furry friend, also a lucky one, to be loved and cared for.
Aren't seedheads so lovely. I wish I was a seed being blown by the wind :)

Hi Cheryl...aww to be adrift on a breeze, but with my luck...lol
Thanks so much my good friend!!
A promise is a promise, love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteWell you should have received an apology at least.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why it may not have been possible immediately, but it should have been made after the incident had been resolved.
Lovely calming images GG, the last one is really good.
Yikes, Grace! I wonder where they meant to be. You are still owed an apology!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Holy cow, that was scary re. the police.
ReplyDeleteLove that fat kitty ...sleeps just like mine.
HI Bob...thanks..: }}

Beautiful images Grace... I always view the pics first... then I get a shock reading the text.. that must have been a terrible shock having a gun pointing at you..
ReplyDeleteI hope alls well now.
Take care and a big comforting hug from me xx
HI Andrew...thanks for that big comforting hug I can always use one ..yes all is well!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely comment on my photo's too!!
Grace xx
Lovely photos, Grace! The sunset is beautiful and a perfect end to the day. Oh, except for the no manners policeman. I would have been scared silly. He could have said he was sorry. Take care and have a good night.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. The police encounter sounds really scary. Hope you sleep well tonight.
ReplyDeleteDo you have zealous policeman in your country ;-) Wow for sure it has stressed you, it would have stressed anybody...
ReplyDeleteBut it is still nice you were able to post this nice relaxing pictures. Wish you the best!
Aaah... I feel good. Great photos Grace. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHI Grace...wow a gun in your face OMG that had to be scary...
ReplyDeleteHope you got all your hatches battened down--great photos from your neck of the woods!!
New subscriber here and it sounds like I've arrived at a pretty dramatic moment. A mistake by the police is excusable but rudeness is certainly not.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos in the last few posts. Really captures the spirit of Autumn. Adam @ My Life Outside
Yikes!! You certainly deserved an apology! Hope life is calm now.
ReplyDelete;)
Your police officer experience would have sent me right into next week, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteGet much snow? About 8" here, and our power was out from some time in the night until this afternoon, so we got off easy.
That must have been a scary moment staring down a gun like that.
ReplyDeleteSomething similar happened to friends of mine once too ... and they never got an apology either. They were on holidays when police cars zoomed up, cut them off and surrounded them with guns pulled. They had to get out with hands up and be taken off to the police station. Somebody THOUGHT my friend's husband looked like someone on a wanted poster. You, of all people, can imagine their distress!
