Things we love about the Fall....




Crisp air, the golden leaves against the big blue sky, peaches, apple crisp, the anxiety we feel to get outside and enjoy the splender before it is over, going to the case- lot sales and stocking up like little squirrels, the smell of decaying leaves, pumpkins, squash, and soups. We love the Fall!!

This Fall we have been going for walks and runs on the mountain trails. Adam and I have gone together when the kids (all but Thomas) are in school. That is definately a perk about Adam's ever changing schedule... he is home during the week sometimes!

This morning was the annuall Pumpkin Sale in the town square. One of the benefits of living in a small town is that you go the the events in the square and you know most the people. It feels safe. It feels like home. The kids were of course excited to pick out a pumpkin. They also got their faces painted, made some crafts, and drank hot chocolate. It was a beautifull morning!

Thursday, we had wood delivered for our woodstove. We are so excited to come in on cold Jackson days (which are many) to the crackling sound of a fire. Thursday night we lit our first fire and read stories next to it before bed.
