that fall feeling

It's officially been fall for almost a week now but I'm just now cooling off to the idea that fall is finally here.  I traveled back home to Nebraska this weekend and was welcomed by very cool temperatures.  I wasn't expecting nighttime lows in the 40's and I definitely didn't pack for that cool weather!  As I was driving back, I noticed some of the trees along the interstate were beginning to show signs of their change.  One of my absolute favorite parts of fall is the change in color of fall foilage.  You have to look quick, because it seems it's gone in a wink.  Last year, Hubby and I made sure to enjoy some of the changing leaves with walks in our nearby park.  We'll be sure to do that this year with Nora in tow!


Now that fall is offically here I have a few goals --- give our shrubs their final fall trim, clear out our edible garden (which was not too successful this year), buy some mums and decorate our front stoop, and add some fall touches to our home.  I hope to be back to document how we've felt fall.

Our edible garden wasn't really great either. Just as I was about to get a ton of tomatos the weather changed and I've lost a lot. It went from 90 degree days to 60 degrees in a total of ONE day. No joke. Enjoy the fall...it's so pretty!
