Yes, fall is the beginning of a long respite from bugs and biting bugs!

Yorkshire Pudding said...

The animated leaves are slightly disconcerting but I loved the one about old Douglas.

I love the autumn (although as I write this I'm in the middle of Storm Amy) and the spring. Both mirrors of the same. The colours and life, nature showing us what it's all about.

Mistress Maddie said...

It's shaping up to be a beautiful Autumn here! This could almost be like a mood board that I do on Mondays.

Jamie Ghione said...

I like the cat in the wind.

Tom said...

...Debra, I wish you an Outstanding October!!!

Travel said...

Time for the cats to find a cozy box to nest in for the winter.

The Happy Whisk said...

Hahahahahaha. Debra. Sooooo soooo good to have you back in the blogging world. Really, truly.

Boud said...

So glad you're back! The colors are so lovely this time of year.

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Happy autumn!
And yes! The lack of bugs is always a plus!

XOXO

P. S. So good you’re back!

Ellen D. said...

It's still a bit too warm here but I think we will get our Fall weather next week. I hope so as I love Fall!

It actually has come on soft this year. We're still seeing low 90s. But that also means the bugs have not gone to hell yet! LOL.
P.S. Thank you for the birthday wishes! ๐Ÿ˜˜

Moving with Mitchell said...

Oh, these are a joy. I’m so happy you’re back!!! WTF, Douglas! (This is the favorite time of year for our bugs.)

Ms. Moon said...

That last meme cracks me up. Seriously, Douglas?

The look on that first cat's face!

Lady M said...

Glad to see you are back in the blogsphere. My bugs are going crazy - one last hurrah before winter. I am currently reading The October Country. It is bizarre.

Bob said...

We are having such great cool weather; it was low 50s this morning and I actually put on long sleeves!
But, I fear, that Second Summer might be lurking nearby.

Mary Kirkland said...

This is my favorite time of year. I hope you are feeling better.

Guillaume said...

As far as I'm concerned, autumn could bitchslap summer away... but it's more poetic the way you put it.

Tundra Bunny said...

And any bugs that haven't returned to Hell that dare venture into my house will reap the Dyson whirlwind!

Catalyst said...

I missed your "return" post, Debra, but good to have you back!

roentare said...

Shammickite said...

Debra, I didn't realize you were back. Happy Autumn ๐Ÿ‚ ☺️ ๐Ÿ’“

Kirk said...

Yes, the bugs finally leave. Cooling trends have their upside.

Barbara said...

Hahaha. Love Douglas. The rest are beautiful. I love Fall.

angela said...

There is always that one person, tree, that bucks the system.
I’m that tree!

The Blog Fodder said...

Some beautiful pictures. Stealing for my nature folder. The problem with fall is it precedes winter and so much darkness. Time to dig out the SAD lamp my kids bought me. Since I do not love the darkness, I guess my deeds are not evil.

Mike said...

Some of the bugs have decided to spend the winter in my house.

roughterrain crane said...

Enjoy autumn days.

Quinley said...
