The inevitable

The snow has come. It greeted us this morning with a light blanket of white on the grass and bushes. Ahhh. It's finally here. So, on this cold snowy morning, I will warm my hands and body with a cup of coffee, and hold on just one more time to the warmer (though still chilly, on this particular day) days of Fall. As you can see above, the kids loved throwing the biggest rocks they could into the puddles.



And finally, on our way back, the Mamas gave in and let the kiddos do what they had been wanting to do the whole time. We let them run and jump in the big puddles until they were laughed out and chilled to the bone.


This is when you know they've had a great time...


Bundle up, and let the cold weather come, my friends =)

~30~ The Grand Finale

They are all hodgepodge here, and one of the pictures is here twice, but I can't fix it=) I hope you enjoy it anyway! I've had fun recording these 30 days of Fall. I hope you have been inspired (or at least gotten a smile or two) as I have.

Now, what to do next?

~29~

Farewell to the days in the park when the weather was just perfect (the days in the park from now on will be slightly uncomfortable, to say the least).

ps. Can you tell that Hudson was in desperate need of a nap?

And for tomorrow, the finale!!

~28~

This is the view that we are seeing more and more now. Trees that are all or mostly bare.


And that means we see a lot of this...



Leaves everywhere!

~27~

I will miss you the most, vibrant red. During the season of blankets of beautiful, snowy whiteness, I will long for your return.

~26~

Enjoy your rest, happy jack-o-lantern orange.

As we head into November and the weather gets colder (though we have been having beautiful 60s and 70s here), our thoughts linger less and less on the beauties of Fall, and more and more on the upcoming Thanksgiving and...gasp!... Christmas. So, with 6 photos of Fall left, I begin my farewell to the most colorful, if not most beautiful, of our seasons.

So long brilliant, sun-catching yellow...
