autumn swatting

Isn’t this pretty? 
The autumn sun shining on those woolly little angels. 
I mean, isn’t it just so beautiful and quaint? 
Yes, it is. 
But the woolly ones come with lots of flies. 
And when you live right next door, all this idyllic beauty can be quite irritating. 
See, that’s my house they’re lollygagging in front of. 
(at least the Nazi Ghost Zombies are being kept busy fly swatting as well)
Plus, my morning wake up call comes from this guy every morning. 
eeyore! eeyore!

  7. Gorgeous Sarah! I know you live close to me (although I still don't know WHERE) but you have far more leaves and color than we do. Of course, you have actual trees. I'm surrounded by buildings!

  10. That is one good lookin' donkey. Nice rich colour, not a boring old run'o the mill grey. That said, I wouldn't want to wake up to him either. Will I see you tomorrow?

  15. We have a donkey near us in France too – boy does that noise carry a long way! We have had problems with flies in the past – strange, we don't really get them in England anymore, not in any great number, although I can remember my Mum putting up papers and horrible sprays when we were kids. I think its all the pesticides – maybe flies aren't so bad after all! xxx

  24. And without screens in your windows, I'd image those flies can be quite an annoyance! But it really is pretty…

  27. Ohh they are so terribly cute! We don't have any sheep near us we have some rooster who thinks that 4pm is sunrise, but I guess that is better than having a ton of flies buzzing around. Never-the-less, your photos are gorgeous!

  28. My morning wake-up call is the hot water pipe that bangs and pops from my living room. I want your life, including the noisy donkey. On the bright side, at least I can live vicariously in le petit village. 🙂

  29. Hi Sara, That is a pretty view you have, but they must be noisy neighbors! I'm sure one gets used to the sound just like cars/city noise. (= I have been really enjoying fall here in Amsterdam…its a new season for this AZ transplant!
