Before the snow?

Oh, ours of last week is longGone.

Hoping this means guilt-free hot chocolate every morning… and night.

Blessings.

Love your photo and quote. Every morning nearly, I choose a quote from various blogs which is especially meaningful to me, and today, wrote this quote in my journal. Thank you so much for sharing, and this is going to be something meaningful to me! Have an awesome day

Self-discipline- I do indeed need more of that. Lovely shot and quote!

Katie said...

self-discipline is a fine art, i think, and one i'm working on this month. hope you enjoyed your snow!

Beth said...

Stunning photo. The water drops on the leaf are spectacular---the big one looks like a tear drop---perhaps because the gorgeous fall weather is about to end with the coming of snow?
Thought-provoking quote.

I clicked on the image. It is magnificent. Wishing you a nice afternoon. It is EVEN COLD in Georgia this week!

"the ability to say no to oneself..." I'm working hard on that right now with regard to making some healthier choices.

Dolly @Soulstops said...

pondering that...we don't talk much about self control in our culture today...Thanks, Susan :)

Changes and changes and changes again. My hard is FILLED with leaves. Small yard, HUGE amount of the thousands and thousands and millions of leaves... and I gotta get them raked this weekend when it's warm [but showery] Can't get them all, but it will make a difference heading into the inability to rake b/c of the cold, iciness. Then in Spring I can rake the rest...

rjerdee said...

Your photographs are sooooooooo refined!

Carola Bartz said...

I love images of fallen leaves. So peaceful. I really like the detail of the raindrops.

Susan said...

so, so true!

Tracy said...

The snow crystals on the leaf...like diamonds...*sigh*... Saying say no to oneself... I find yes easy, no hard sometimes... LOL! Happy Weekend, Susan ((HUGS))

The water drop looks like a tear to me. Perhaps a little sadness at the passing of Autumn into the cold of winter.
