Sweet Autumn

Delicious Autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~George Eliot

I look forward to this day so very much every year. The leaves are already starting to change around here and daily now I find myself driving through a small pile of droplets on my way out of the drive. It's refreshing.

I'm so glad you're here, Autumn. You make my heart a little lighter and give me strength...

Catching Up From My Absense (Edited; Not Sure Why It Partially Published)

Here's what I've been up to...

Finally visiting friends.










Hanging out with my favorite nephew, Sebastian...and loving Arwen loving on Granny!










Finally downloading pictures so I can show off her homemade 4th of July outfit.











Spending as much time as possible here... A loves the pool and that makes me haaaaappppy! (By the way, her first swim suit is my first swim suit!! I'll have to post pics of that little antique on the tiny one - nevermind that she'd nearly naked here!)











Enjoying ice cream for the Niblet's 6 month anniversary at our favorite ice cream shop...in her homemade 6 month celebration outfit! (6 months already!? Sheesh!!!)











Making a complete outfit for A!! (the skirt is from fabric I got from Chris' grandmothers stash!)












Spending family time at the local botanical garden. Butterflies and picnics...does it get any better?!




Enjoying weather that is fine enough to spend a quiet breakfast outside early on a Saturday morning... Mmmm, sweet potato pancakes. (Chris sometimes takes a bit of pancake with his syrup)
