The boys hang from a banyon |
What a catch! The fish isn't too bad, either |
That's a little better |
These trees blow my mind. |
My boys...who doesn't love them? |
These two are quite the buddies! |
I like this one! |
For those of you who don't know...
I'm not a big fan of Fall. It's not that I have anything against the leaves, going back to school, or the cooler weather, it's just that I'm always sad to see Summer go. And come to think of it, maybe I do have something against the cooler weather. There are so many great reasons to love Summer, and so I always have to talk myself into being ok with Fall.
But don't worry, I always work on it, and realized yesterday that I've actually accomplishe it--I'm enjoying Fall, and it's only...we'll, we're almost on the threshold of Winter, but who's counting?
It came as I was out on our wrap-around porch, scraping paint (oh, cursed of all chores!) as the sun was beginning to melt into dusk early and yet it was still warm enough to have a t-shirt on, and in the window I saw the reflection of a large tree being talked out of its red and gold leaves by the gentle breeze that made them flitter, and a few birds flew across the sky, calling out to each other (ok, they were crows and not the picture-perfect geese that this scene called for, but still!). It was very Fall, and I realized that I enjoyed every piece of it, so why not admit that I am enjoying Fall. Could've done without the paint scraping, though!
So for all of you Fall-lovers, this look is for you--and to remind myself to enjoy the pleasures of this season while they are around!
