We spent a lot of time in the leaves this weekend. If you’re new to my blog, well…we have a lot of leaves from just a few trees in our yard. We have to mulch and bag our leaves for the city to pick up (or for my mom to use in her yard) and …
Just because October is over, it doesn’t mean pumpkin season is over. We have another month that should be devoted to all things pumpkin, and these Pumpkin Whoopie Pies are EVERYTHING. I have a friend who makes amazing whoopie pies, and she has brought them over for my birthday celebrations in the past, and they …
I normally love fall. I love the changing of the leaves and many of my favorite events happen in the fall. My birthday, anniversary, birthdays of several of my family members and close friends happen between September and November. I’ve always loved attending Homecoming for my alma mater (I’m not as in love with planning …
Fall is such a favorite of mine. I love the changing of seasons, the colors, the treats (and it doesn’t hurt that my birthday and anniversary are both in October.) The end of this month has been kind of rough, but I’m trying not to hold that against October. Today I’m linking up with Elaine …
This weekend was peak leaf color in areas around Asheville (I think farther north, the leaves peaked around a week or two ago.) It’s always fun to watch the stages of the colors. My in-laws were in town, so we decided to head out to the Blue Ridge Parkway to see what we could find. …
One of the things I’ve been wanting to do this fall is pick apples at an apple orchard. We were going to venture to the super popular orchard in our area (still a bit of a drive) but when we woke up and started getting ready on Saturday, I looked at their calendar and realized …
Just as I did for summer, I’ve created a fall bucket list. (I really should go through and update the summer one, right? We did so much! Fall is one of my favorite times of year. It helps that my birthday and wedding anniversary are both in October. And we have so many birthdays in …
Can you believe that fall is almost officially here? No? (I can’t believe it either.) I’m linking up with Elaine for another month of Old School Blogging…this time, the fall edition! I love fall, though this fall I’m a litttttle stressed out with work. I’m trying to embrace it. For real. 1. What Fall traditions …
We’ve done a corn maze this fall (well, the week after Labor Day) and we’ve checked out pumpkins. This weekend, however, we had family in town and I decided that we’d get out of the house, check out the fall colors and visit another pumpkin patch. It was such a good idea. The little guy …
It’s my favorite time of year. And I made sure we were outside as much as possible this past week. I want to capture everything outside right now so I can remember it in a couple of months when it’s gray and freezing (and possibly even snowing) outside. This tree is near our house. I …
So we had an unexpected weekend. Wednesday night, I talked to my dad and he and my grandma decided to come up for the weekend. My grandma is visiting him for the month, and this was the only free weekend they had. (He did call me earlier Wednesday to see if they could come up …
As I was driving back to work yesterday from lunch, I noticed that the trees are finally starting to change around here. Just a few of our trees are turning. I suspect the cold spell we had last week is helping them along. I took a different walk from the parking garage to the office, …
Fall is just about over in my little area. Well, the pretty fall colors are just about over. Now everything is falling. Hello big, drab oak tree. I’ll be raking and bagging these leaves this weekend. We’re lucky our neighbors have this tree hanging over the fence. Pretty colors to brighten the gray days. Fall …
One of the fun features of our neighborhood is the corn maze in the fall – it’s within walking distance of our house. It’s pretty cool because starting in the spring, we can watch them getting the maze prepared for it’s opening in September. This was the third(?) year of the maze and we’ve gone …
This week’s You Capture topic was autumn. And we had to be creative about it…so I tried. With angles and subjects. I went to a Gourd Gala on Sunday. I don’t get points for best photo with this one, but how unique is this pumpkin (which also served as a pot for beef stew?)I’m not …
This week, the topic for “You Capture” was orange. Should have been easy, considering that’s now my husband’s favorite color. (For real, he has an orange car, an orange phone cover, orange laptop and now an orange iPod.) I didn’t shoot photos of all of his orange belongings, because, really, that would have been boring. …
How can you hate fall when it gives you colors like this? I saw this tree on my morning run on Saturday. I went back home and grabbed Sophie (and my camera) for a late-morning walk. I love this tree.And I really love fall in Asheville.
We decided to take on the corn maze again this year. It’s within walking distance of our house, and we really enjoyed it last year. This year, they’ve added “Fun Fridays” and tonight they had barbeque and lots of activities (mostly for children.) It’s becoming quite the event. So we wandered up to the field …
I saw these two pictures this evening and just had to share them, for no other reason than I just really, really liked them. And they aren’t pictures of my cat. I saw these purple weeds flowers in my grandma’s yard – there were several patches of the pretty flowers. They were tiny, but my …
I don’t think it’s fair that in order to have pretty spring flowers, most bulbs have to be planted this month. I spent two hours in the yard today, mostly planting flower bulbs. Tulips are my main focus (I planted 40 bulbs) and hyacinths are the next focus (14 bulbs were planted.) I also threw …
I’ve written before about my love for our yard – and my growing hatred of mowing the yard, but my love for the cool trees and the fact that we have a place for the dogs to run. Quite often I find myself looking at timberland for sale and dreaming of a new, more simple …
This was a fun you capture week for me. Autumn? I love fall, and I live in one of the greatest places to capture fall colors. So, with that, here’s a random tree I photographed as I was driving out of a parking lot late last week. (yes, I was really driving): My favorite place …
I’m not a Halloween person. I think we’ve already established that on my blog. I get into the decorations for fall, and I love black cats (any cat, really) and some of my Halloween decorations that I’ve painted, but I definitely don’t go all out and do the costume and the pumpkin carving or anything …
Welcome to my fall decorations! Kelly’s hosting a “show us your life” theme that I can actually participate in (I’m not good with the baby items, since I don’t have a child, so I’ve missed out on several of these.) But, fall decorations, I have. I’ve painted ceramics since 2000 (it was therapeutic during a …
