every leaf speaks bliss

fall in minnesota. to borrow vernacular from the kids:

i. can't. even.

i find myself stopping at windows, just staring out across the yard. i mean, really ... wouldn't you?

i even managed to squeeze in five minutes with the kids while it was still amazing.

then, minute 5:01:

and at 5:02:

and that was that. today? gray, raining, cool. very fall-like, and the leaves are dropping fast. wonderful, really, but the beauty is fading.

luckily, we managed to make it to the orchard last weekend, when it was still bright and crunchy and golden.

("how tall this fall" used to be cuter.)

 

hopefully this weekend there will be time to carve these bad boys. next week is a busy one ... often, pumpkins end up a rush job at the last minute.

also, stay tuned next week for a four-year house update. pinterest has garnered our little place a lot of attention, and many questions have come to me about what more we've done since moving in. the house is pretty clean right now, so next week i'll share house pix.

appetizers ...
