some fall pics. I thought the colors were so beautiful this year.

Cooper's Rock State Forest
We love to go here every fall and have a camp fire and cookout

Cosmos flowers are so photogenic!

Darling Hubby at Cooper's Rock, this pic is exactly how I see him, rugged and handsome! :-)

Wooly Worm, a sure sign that Winter is on it's way!

Bibi, I get so few good pictures of her...she's always on the move

I have lots of these pics with Emmy and the fall leaves, I couldn't decide which i liked best!

Zebra Grass and the Sunset

The sunset over our winter pool cover (no kidding). I thought the refection was so beautiful I had to capture it.

Hope you enjoyed the pic. Thanks for sharing some lovely fall moments with me.

Fall, Stall Here at Our House

Ha, ha, it's a little pun. And, it's a rather ironic statement. Really, if i wanted company, why did i move so far out into the country? Garmin doesn't even know where we are. I'm such a freakin' hermit crab.

It has been a beautiful month here though. Usually Sept and Oct are the beautiful months, but this Nov was gorgeous. And warm. I love unexpected warm weather.

Today the sky is crystal clear, the sun is low in the sky casting a warm amber glow on everything. I am so glad i didn't cut the seed heads on my Pampas grass, or move them to their new home yet. I will probably be regretting this decision in the spring; they cannot stay in my front flowerbeds. They get too big and send out too many runners. Next Spring I'll move them closer to the edge of the yard where they'll have all the room they need. But for now they look so lovely in the warm sunlight swaying in the breeze, their fluffy tan seedheads blending in with the browns of the trees in the distance.

Imagine my surprise yesterday when it started snowing! Woah, wasn't ready for that one. But it was beautiful in it's unexpectedness and my girls bundled up and went outside to play. It didn't stick around for long, but it was lovely while it lasted.

We also spent some time at a nearby state park. We had a little campfire going, and Bibi's pants stretched out by the fire, drying, because Bibi has the knack of getting her pants wet in various ways. The park ranger drove by, stopped, got out and started walking towards us. We thought for sure we were in trouble, maybe we shouldn't have started that fire. But he just came by to say how pleased he was to see families getting out and enjoying the park. Phew.

Smores! Yum!

Bibi looks so content.

Photobucket

Emmy. I can't get her to not pose for the camera.

Photobucket

Bibi and her Stick. She finds sticks wherever we go.

I think Fall might be my favorite season of the year...

Scenes from Fall, 2009

And 1/2 month later I finally get my lazy arse in gear and throw another post up. and it's a picture post to boot. lame and easy, especially when i could talk about hubby's iron distance triathlon and how he rocks, but there it is.

The story? The girls and I went walking with some friends a few weeks ago and the leaves were beautiful. We had a fabulous time. Enjoy a last taste of fall!

Some Autumn Pictures

I haven't been doing much lately, so I thought I'd post some autumn pictures. 


Beautiful pic of the butterfly and my asters.


Below: Carving pumpkins is hard work! Note the hot chocolate and cookies that had to be consumed for extra energy. 






Love that look on Bibi's face: So that's what Pumpkin Guts feel like!


Mmmm!


I love this pic. Bibi looks like she wants to eat the seed. I didn't roast them because hubby wanted to feed them to the deer! :-0


Below the girls are "Bogging" for apples. I had bought a bushel from a local farmer and they couldn't wait to try bobbing (they called it bogging) for apples, complete with goggles and swimsuits (or nothing but underwear for little Bibi). 

We had beautiful weather the past few weeks. It was a lovely fall.

Barfing Pumpkins

Crack me up! If you're here to look at the barfing pumpkins, know that we didn't carve them, but I'm guessing it'd be easy to recreate. (we did carve these pumpkins with patterns.) Just take all the pumpkin "guts" and pile up and out of an open pumpkin mouth. Bottles, optional unless you have some extras, lol!

This one's for Olga: the barfing pumpkins.
We didn't carve this, I got the picture via email.
Happy October everyone!
