Mellow Elie Spotted

Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Without a hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December, our hearts should remember
And follow.
-- Tom Jones (the other one)
I spotted this beauty with a "For Sale" sign in the window on a well kept looking farmstead in Southeast Michigan. I could have cropped more tightly to emphasize the truck for Truck Thursday, but I rather like the look of the entire scene, and I think the truck stands out sufficiently to be the focal point.
HTT!
I'm feeling nostalgic as mellow September softens the heat of summer and a hint of fall is in the air.
"Try to remember the kind of September, when life was slow and oh, so mellow
When grass was green and grain was yellow
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember ..."

This rabbit was lying down on the edge of a walking trail at dusk and didn't move an inch when he saw me. He allowed me to shoot some photos, got up once to stretch, then plopped right back down in the same spot. He must have been tuckered out after a long day.
Thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Have a great weekend!

Peaceful Bokeh Wednesday
I planted milkweed plant for the Monarchs last year and they have found it. They arrived and chase each other around in a mating frenzy. The background is the lake and a yellow, green Mop Cypress.
To make a change from seascapes thought I would upload an autumn shot and was delighted to find this as a theme for the Smile on Saturday group!
Views nice full screen.

Thanks for visiting. I am very grateful to those who take the time to comment or fave.
I have a busy couple of weeks ahead of me so I may not be on Flickr much. I have been having problems making comments but that may have been fixed.
