Foreshadowing

Fall is so bitter-sweet for me. I love the crisp air, the perfect weather, and the changing leaves. However, it's also a reminder that winter is coming. Knowing there were only a few more days to see all the fall colors, I took the kids to the canyon right after school. They were still in their uniforms, but hey, a real girl can hike in a dress!

The colors were so bright and amazing. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to paint something like that?



The kids had fun collecting leaves, walking sticks and getting fresh air. Livi didn't want to be held or stop for pictures. She wanted to walk and when the terrain got to hard for her to go up, I would try to carry her and she would scream. She just wanted a hand to hold, but insisted she did it all by her self otherwise. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

I feel the same way about Fall. I'm a winter HATER, and a summer lover. Therefore, Spring is joyous and Fall is a wee bit sad. I'm trying my best to just enjoy the nice weather and changing colors. And I'm considering moving to the Bahamas for the month of February. And maybe March.
