Where Has Autumn Gone?

I wish time would just pause a moment and wait for me. My favorite season of the year seems to be breezing by and I'm getting left behind. Time to take a deep breath, step back and enjoy it a bit.

The temperature is in the mid-70's today. The skies are blue. The leaves are falling and their colors are beautiful. AND I'm finally starting to feel better. Evan, too, is on the mend. We both finally had a restful night of sleep. Antibiotics are a godsend. I think a walk is in order today! I could use some fresh air!!

On another note...isn't this pumpkin awesome--no, not just because of it's extremely cool coloring, but because of the design. My husband has some mad carving skills. Can you tell who it is? He wasn't too sure about it and actually "forgot" to bring it in at the Trunk or Treat, but I think it looks great. We've even had a few threats about it disappearing from our porch...you know who you are--we're watching you!

I feel the same way. I don't want the color of the leaves to change. Is is sooooooooo gorgeous here in the Shenandoah Valley. Just today as I was driving the kids to school you could see colorful trees on both sides of the road. The leaves were falling on the car and I just wanted to close my eyes. I really felt like I was in Heaven.

You are so lucky to still have Fall weather. We are past the beautiful part and now the temperatures are dropping too.
I think the pumpkin looks like Yoda, my personal favorite Star Wars character.

I cannot believe this weather! I took Preston to Maymont today in Richmond and it was gorgeous! But I think we are due for some cooler weather starting tomorrow.
BTW I love your husband's carving skills. Very cool!
