Last Days of Fall

Hello Family!

Here is a peek at the last few days of fall at home. 

We had a ridiculous bumper crop of apples this year.

We pretty much ate them breakfast, lunch, and dinner

for weeks, and still picked three 5 gallon buckets. 

And then we shared with three other families!

A little cozy for the porch.

Luna loved to lay here.

 a serious case of I-don't-care bedhead.

Look close and you can see the

 morning glories tangled in the tree.

Sam had a day off for the end of the quarter.

He graciously accompanied me to (where else?) the 

Ney Nature center. I didn't get to come the whole summer

and it is one of my favorite places to walk.

Scummy, yet lovely.

There was no current at all, so there was no Pooh Sticks.

Exuberant as always.

Mom and Sam selfie.

What did people used to do?

I love this picture of Sam.

I especially dig that little flip of hair.

The Mom in a silly, rakish, too small hat.

The hats in our house were all hiding that day.

It's a good thing we went when we did, 

because winter ensued soon after.

Love you like crazy!

Love,

Mom

The summer-flower has run to seed

And yellow is the woodland bough;

And every leaf of bush and weed

Is tipt with autumn's pencil now.
