I Love Seasons

 



I am so glad we live in an area where you can really feel the change in the season.  We took the kids on a little hike today and the Autumn colors were amazing!  The leaves were so beautiful, the temperature was beautiful, it smelled beautiful.  I told my kids that I am a mountain girl.  Except for the spiders.  And aggressive mountain wildlife.  And the potential of getting lost.  And having to use the bathroom multiple times a night.  Other than that, I am totally a mountain girl.  I LOVE the mountains (and the rolling hills...).  Right now, I think that Fall is my favorite season.

Here is another happy Fall event:


My dear hubby is 34 now.  There is no getting around it, he is in his mid-30's.  I'm only a step behind him.  The good news is that mid-30's don't sound near as old now as they did 10 years ago.  I guess that's the great thing about aging: it's all relative.  For his cake, Dustin requested something with gummy worms.  In case you can't tell (which is very likely), the lady on the cake is Medusa.  For Dustin's birthday, he gave me multiple fixed drains in my house.  And he was in charge of the kids while I ran errands.  What a good man.  I love him lots.  And lots.

Enjoy the changing seasons now because when you move to AZ to be my neighbor, it won't be like that. The leaves do fall off the trees in January here....that counts for fall, right?

I love the cake! I realized it was Dustin's birthday this month exactly two days ago, when I looked at my calender for apparently the first time in October. SO way belated happy birthday to Dustin! And the fall colors are amazing on that hike!
