This Cooper’s Hawk landed on my bird feeder this morning in Deer Park, I haven’t seen any birds or squirrels since then… gone. And, he finally left after a half hour. He lives in the area.

Old Money Decor Is the Timeless Look Taking Over Interiors:

There’s a fresh decorating trend on the scene, and it’s rich. We’re saying goodbye to the new and flashy and hello to a blast from the past that’s anything but boring. The old money aesthetic is taking the design and fashion worlds by storm, with no sign of letting up anytime soon.

“Eschewing the obviously flashy decor, trend-chasing, and interiors showmanship of the nouveau riche crowd, this style grounds itself in classically chic pieces with staying power,” says Heather Goerzen, Havenly design editor. “It’s Ralph Lauren Home meets Christie’s with a side of polo matches and Dom Perignon.” But with old money decor, it all comes down to the quiet luxury design tenets which, according to Goerzen, are craftsmanship, quality, and originality.

The official first day of fall begins on September 22. Is your home fall-ready? Now is the time to get ahead of of home care and prepare your home for the changing seasons.

We have gathered a few tips to help you prepare as the temperatures drop and leaves begin to fall 🍂🍁

#1 Check your windows for cracks and leaks
Fall is a great time to open up those windows, allowing the fall breeze to flow freely through your home. However, it's also a great time to check your windows for any cracks and leaks. If your windows have any cracks or leaks, reseal them with silicone-based latex caulk.

#2 Make sure you sweep and inspect your chimney
The right time to have your chimney professionally swept and inspected before warming up next to your fireplace on a chilly fall evening.

#3 Do not forget to inspect the roof and clean the gutters
Check for damaged shingles, cracks, and other obvious signs of damage. Gutter cleaning may not be your most favourite chore, but it sure is important. Especially during the fall season, cleaning out your gutters from debris keeps rainwater moving and not collecting inside your home.

#4 Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
Make sure you check, test and replace all batteries on your smoke detectors and make sure they still work. Additionally, it is important for you to invest in a carbon monoxide detector. This odourless and colourless gas is near impossible to identify without a detector, as it is caused by fuels not burning completely, which can come from clothes dryers, water heaters, and fireplaces.

Setting some time aside now to take care of your home before the temperature drops means that you will be set up to sit back, relax, and enjoy this beautiful season!

I had adopted her but she refused to come away with me. It was weird because dogs can't wait to leave the kennel. She was crying and stubbing her paws. I should have dragged her. But when I looked down I understood the reason and I had to make a CHOICE "When the time came to take her home she was just out of that cage, from that moment a new world awaited her, a wonderful life and a lot of love. Any another dog would have run into the embers of her rescuers. But she did not. She stood still, sticking to all fours and refused to come out of the cage. In a corner a small Chihuahua Taco looked at her in fear.

She understood that she was about to lose her her best friend. And in that moment a small miracle happened. The couple saw the whole scene and decided to adopt them both. They did the documents also for the chihuahua and all 4 went out the door of the shelter. was taken in the car, before leaving. Personally I would like to wish these two dogs a happy life full of love !. But above all so much happiness also to these two wonderful people ❤️❤️❤️
