Fall Color and Jasmine

Thank-you all for the get-well wishes this week!  It worked because despite a nagging cough, I feel much better and returned to work on Wednesday, ready to share air space with germa-phobic co-workers and dental patients. Carl did not get by unscathed and became the next victim of the virus.  He stayed home from work today.  Its a dismal, rainy day here in Virginia and while 'the patient' was napping, I ran a couple of errands, taking Charlie with me.

The fall colors on my road have suddenly started to pop.
They are also showing on this beautiful old maple tree
next to the church just down from us.  
Jasmine has settled in nicely!  She's a sweet little thing, and gets along very nicely with our gang.  I think she's feeling right at home because she has started barking with a couple of the other dogs who always tell me to 'hurry up' as I fix the meals for everyone.  She also lets us know when she wants to be let inside and out.  
~Jasmine and Bubba~
 Despite a week that hasn't been my best, I think its been a good week for the dogs. 
I hope its been a good one for you too!  
~Sheba~

  1. Hi Kim and gang, So glad you are on the road to recovery! Poor Carl, you know just what to do to help him get better-chicken soup. My girlfriend has a cold/cough virus that has lasted a week and a half. Love hearing that Jasmine is fitting in well.
    Sending love your way.

  5. Good news that you are feeling better Kim, and fingers crossed that Carl doesn't come down with the same thing...
    It's really looking colorful around your parts, so very pretty.
    Jasmine seems to be right at home, she looks like a sweet girl, and is in the very BEST of homes.

  9. Glad that you are feeling better, I hope you are taking just as good care of Carl as he did you!

    Lovely colors up there, is more bug eaten and dried up leaves, down here.

    Bless Jasmine, nothing better than a dog that lets you know when they want in and out, and you don't need to ask all the time.

    I'm sure Charlie loved his ride, hope you got him a MickeyD!

  12. There are a lot of sore throats going around here in NE Oklahoma but I think it's allergy related. Glad you are feeling better. Our trees haven't turned as much as the trees in your neck of the woods. Another week or so and we will start seeing the difference.

  15. Hi Kim.. Glad you're feeling better. I missed your last post for some reason, so didn't even know you were sick. I love these fall photos. The colors are beautiful this year, aren't they? We've had a lot of rain here for the past few days as well.
    So when you go to run an errand, how do you decide who will accompany you? Do you just say, 'hey charlie, ya wanna go?' and do the rest get upset if you don't take them along? I notice that you seem to take each of theml out at different times. Do you have a system? Or is it just eenie, meenie, minie moe?
    Awe Charlie!! Please hug him for me, Kim!

  16. Thanks for sharing your fall colors. We don't have any this year. All our foliage is brown and crispy from our hot dry summer.

  20. Great picture of Jasmine and Bubba. He is a big, red, regal looking boy - like Easton. Hope he finds just the right meds for his seizures. That must be very upsetting to watch him lose control. Poor guy.

  24. sorry to hear you were not feeling too good, but happy to know tha you are on the mend. Seems to be the time of year for "bugs" everywhere, everyone has something. I hope I can steer clear of the germs for a while longer. Autumn is looking real pretty in VA right now. Our trees are just barely starting to show color and won't be at the peek for another week or so. Much rain of late, but sunshine today, so I am grateful for that. Have a great weekend. hugs, Debby

  27. I'm glad that you're feeling better although I'm sorry about Carl. We did a similar routine here a couple of weeks ago, first my husband and then me.

    I'm also glad that Jasmine is fitting in nicely. She's a lucky dog to have ended up in your house!

  28. Your Fall colors are so beautiful! Ours are just past peak and already I miss them. Fall is kind of like my favorite flower (lilac) ~ it just doesn't last long enough!

    OMG ~ Jasmine is the CUTEST thing!!! Kind of like a 'miniature golden retriever'!

    I hope you and Carl are both feeling well enough to have a wonderful weekend!
