Watching the leaves dance down from the trees
Pumpkin spice latte...decaf of course
Cuddling in a blanket on the furnace
Following a compass through the corn maze
Leaf piles
Leaf jumping smiles
Blue skies and Gray skies
Orange, yellow, red, brown, green!
Carving Jack o' lanterns
Outdoor rosary in the candlelight
Pumpkin pie baking
Smell of burning leaves in the air
Flip flops one day boots the next

11
Thomas celebrated his 11th birthday with family at our home! He decorated the cake himself using crumbled oreo cookies for dirt and then strategically placed his army guys. We had lunch, cake and ice cream and then went to the Innfield in Lexington for some go carting fun. I think he smiled all day!

Pick a Peck of Peaches and a Pumpkin!
On the last Wens of summer break the Phillips family invited us to go with them and pick peaches at Apple Hill Orchard after Mass. I had never picked peaches and was surprised by how easy it was. When we went in to pay of course we had to also buy a few apple doughnuts and we were treated to the smell of freshly baking peach pies. What a lovely morning it was. When I came home I decided to pick our 1st little pumpkin. We have a volunteer pumpkin plant (actually 4 plants) and this little guy was already ripe. There are 3-4 more pumpkins we are hoping will get a bit bigger before they ripen. Fall is in the air!
That Sounds Like a Waterfall?
Another memory filled trip to Michigan. This year Lily was able to join us and Grandpa was there. The fishing was great and each of the girls caught at least 1 keeper bass. Gary and the girls decided to go way up river and fish their way back down. We dropped them off and they discovered lots of trees blocking the river, a large number of shallow spots they had to get out and pull the boat over, and even a small waterfall they had to navigate over. They were gone about 5-6 hour and came back starving and exhausted but with lots of stories to tell and a few more fish to fry.
