Harbinger of Fall

Sedum 'Autumn Joy' turns pink in the fall and will darken in the coming months. It's a common plant around here and nice to see at this time of year.

One of my sisters lives in Miami, my 'travelling' sister, I will sometimes post her photos of exotic destinations she has visited.  They lost power during the storm but survived.  They have electricity from a generator but no cell or wifi.  The back fence of their house is gone, but the front fence is fine.  Apparently many trees in south Miami are down and the roads were blocked yesterday.  I hope the power can be restored soon.

Sedum Autumn Joy

Here is sedum autumn joy, a harbinger of fall. I took this photo in the neighbourhood recently. This perennial flower will become deep reddish in colour as fall progresses. It is very drought tolerant too.

Husband M, son K and I went to see the movie 'Hitman Agent 47' last night, only about 5 days after opening. It was K's idea, he loves the fast cars. I have to say I enjoyed it, in spite of myself. Apparently it is a series of movies, these Hitman movies, based on a video game.

 K told me to try playing the Timeplay game with my phone.  This theatre runs these games before the movie and you have the chance to earn SCENE points towards free movie tickets.  First you have to 'select' your auditorium, easy enough.  I was hopeless, in one of the games, I was supposed to 'swipe' an image across the phone screen at the right time to win points.  At the end of the game, the winners are displayed on the movie screen.  Some guy called 'Ansen' seemed to be the number one winner of all the games.
