We've had some nice Fall weather lately and this week I stood in my courtyard and took a few photos looking onto the golf course.
When we are fortunate to have time at home we spend some of it in the lanai.
And this is the view looking out at my neighbor's Yellow Poplar tree in all of it's fall glory!
It's been beautiful but my days are spent doing 'have to' things lately.
Our Camellia is blooming like crazy right now too!
And we've had little Warblers flitting around,
as well as our neighborhood Mockingbird!
But we've always loved living on the golf course and having such beautiful views.
We had one really long day at the cancer center this week and Ron was able to get a full chemo treatment...8 hours long! He's been weak and tired the rest of the week but we are hopeful the treatments will have good results. Thanks for your continued prayers and for your friendship! It sure makes a difference in my life. I so enjoy reading your blogs too and will comment when I can.
Have a beautiful weekend!
Lots of hugs, Diane
I’m joining Saturday’s critters HERE

Just checking in to let you know I am still praying for your husband and for you, there are quite a few of us that are dealing with husband health issues, in my list I have 5 and myself that are dealing with similar health issues. love your lanai and the view and that gorgeous tree. I forgot to say my brother is #7 counting my brother who is going through weekly chemo
Thanks for letting me settle with you for these peaceful scenes for a while. Have a good weekend!
it is so beautiful there...autumn is putting on quite a show!! i am so happy that you are home. that you can get wonderful pictures to share with us here, right there from "your nest". enjoy this time together...with that beautiful view and your wonderful ron. tell stories about the past and your life together!!!! thinking of you both, i hope you have a peaceful weekend!!
...Diane, I love your Camellia. A few years ago I bought the hardiest camellia that I could find, it lasted two years and then died! I send best wishes to you and Ron, you are in my thoughts.
So glad Ron was able to have the first treatment, draining for sure. Hoping he has the same results as a friend of mine who just got to right the bell after his last treatment (a tradition in our hospital here) and after waiting and then having the tests he was deemed cancer free. Lovely views from your lanai.
Fall sure looks pretty at your place. Continued prayers for you and your hubby from all of us.
Good to hear hubby was able to get his chemo ~ hoping it works for him ~ hard times ~ Your photos are delightful ~ especially the little warblers ~ gorgeous Autumn light ~ Sending lots of healing energy hugs to you ~ xo

I am amazed that we have fall here in Florida too. It seems like summer, yet I too notice trees shedding their leaves and changes in color. Sending you our prayers and good thoughts during this most difficult time,
Hello Diane,
Love all the Autumn colors and flowers. The birds are all beautiful.
I will keep your husband in my prayers! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.
You live in a beautiful spot. Just getting outside to look at the trees and birds is good for your body and mind during these stressful days. I'm glad Ron was able to have a treatment and I pray that it will provide good results. Hugs,
You have lovey fall color around you! I love to see your camellia, and it have wonderful flowers. I have many camellias in my basement during the winter.
Such beautiful fall views and photos! Thinking of Ron and sending you both strength and hope for positive results from the treatments. Take care.
Very beautiful pictures and... you´re in my heart. Best wishes to your Hubby. I sure know - if a different problem (inherited pancreas-problems) - how hard it is...
Some beautiful fall photos! Lovely Camelia.
I hope the treatment will be successfull!.

It's so nice to see autumn color is Florida! Please do not stress to comment on my blog, Diane! Just know you and your husband are in my daily prayers. I am glad to hear that Ron was able to tolerate a chemo treatment. I may be taking a holiday break but I hope to keep checking in with you. (((hugs)))
Beautiful Fall pictures! So glad to see a post from you. Been thinking of you. The camellia is gorgeous! Ours has buds, waiting on the first blooms. I love camellias! Hope to plant several more here. We will pray for Ron. 🙏 🙏 . Take care of YOU TOO. ❤ hugs!
So beautiful! And I like your birds too!
I have been thinking of you & Ron this week. It is good that he was able to have the treatment. Enjoy the nice days in the lanai.
Love and hugs back to you! Prayers continue, Diane. I loved the photos you shared! What a nice view you have from your lanai! xo
An 8 hour treatment sounds exhausting. Continued prayers for your husband.
I think I like the looks of your fall way better than ours.
I know I have not posted a comment in awhile now--but be assured you are and hubby have been in my prayers--love the photos--and I am happy to see that even if you are unable right now to get out to the trails that you are finding some peace and love in the nature around you--sending you a big hug, di
Glad to hear that Ron was able to have his treatment. Prayers continue.
Beautiful photographs you've shared here.
Was so pleased to read that Ron was able to have his first treatment, continued thoughts and prayers for you both.
All the best Jan
Beautiful colours captured!
Best wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery for Ron.
What beautiful photos with the autumn colors and the birds!
I'm thinking of you both and wishing you strength and hope for positive results from the treatments.
Greetings Irma
I love when leaves create a colourful carpet on the ground! That's a beautiful view you have! Thank You for sharing the good news that Ron had a full chemo treatment and I hope the good news can continue! Best wishes!
Dearest Diane,
when there are so many “have to” things to take care of, it becomes even more important to savor the little beautiful moments in between — just as you do: looking out over the autumn-bright, sunny golf course, watching the birds… Every bit of joy gives strength, and you and your husband need plenty of that to get through this difficult time together. I’m glad he was able to receive a full chemo treatment. It’s no wonder he feels weak afterwards — my aunt always feels the same, but after some time she starts to feel better again.
I’m keeping you both in my thoughts!
All the best and lots of hugs,
Traude

I am glad to hear that your husband got his full chemo treatment.
Wishing him and you all the very best.
Your photos are beautiful.
Hello Diane :)
Gorgeous autumn coloured leaves and your camelia is beautiful. You live in a lovely place and I enjoyed seeing the views from your window. Sending hugs and kind thoughts to you Diane and best wishes to your hubby for a positive result from the chemo.
Take care
Hugs

It's impossible to feel my health issues matter when I look at what you and Ron are going through. I feel for you so much. It's a heavy load to bear, being with a special loved one so sick. You continue to be in our prayers, as you always will be. Your autumn is beautiful, as every season is in its own right. The cardinal photos reminded me of the many we have had in our garden. Love always, and a long hug!
Lovely pictures! Eight hours of treatment sounds exhausting. Best wishes to both of you!
I'm still praying for you and Ron.....thank you for keeping us updated. Love you, Diane....
I'm so glad Ron could get his treatment this week. I hope it helps. Meanwhile, it's looking very beautiful in your world and I hope that is very comforting.
Hello Friend,
Happy Thanksgiving week.
Continuing to pray for Ron and you.
Love and prayers!
P.S.
If you feel comfortable sending me your mailing address ... I would appreciate it. Thank you!
Fall looks so pretty in your area. I love the colors of the changing leaves. I am hoping that your husbands treatments will help. Sending prayers and hugs.
Your views from the lanai are just beautiful and so peaceful.
So good to have a spot like that to rest in after such a long day at the hospital.
You are both in my thoughts and I pray the treatments are effective for Ron.
Espero y deseo que tú marido esté mejorando. Me encantaron tus fotografías. Besos.
Such lovely fall views around your home. The flowers and birds make everything feel so peaceful. I’m glad Ron could complete his treatment, even though it was a long day. Keeping you both in my thoughts and wishing you a restful weekend.
