Welcome Autumn

Okay, I have accepted the fact that summer is over, summer lover that I am, but look at this! Autumn in all it's glory is in full swing. I did two fun and romantic things this weekend. Friday evening, we put sleeping bags on the ground and many blankets over us, and layed down and stared up at the stars on a chilly autumn night. I had never taken the time to do that before. I saw some shooting stars and the milky way, and realized how the earth is spinning and shifting as the stars drifted away.
Sunday afternoon, we walked through some snarly woods for the purpose of collecting autumn leaves of all shapes, sizes and colors. I am partial to red, but I gathered up all sorts of leaves, of red, orange, yellow, brown, gold and green. They're pressed in one of my Bibles now, until I'm ready to do something creative with them. It's so fun to get outside and enjoy what every season has to offer.
