sunday we drove through guardsman pass. the leaves were beautiful.
a few days later, the weather shifted and the cool air brought visions of colorful leaves on my table and pumpkin steamers waiting for the kids as they arrived home from school, with the excitement of the crisp, fall surrounding us.
dave took me on a drive to search for leaves.
it started pouring rain. dave braved the wet to collect branches with beautiful colors while viv and i warmly waited in the car.
"chop me a green one dada!!"--vivian
the drive was awesome, but once we arrived home, my vision didn't go quite as expected. one thing led to another and i didn't have time to arrange the leaves, the kids came home and i spilled the steamer all over the kitchen.
it was a mess!
later that afternoon, when the chaos had died down, i came into the kitchen
and dave had arranged the leaves for me.
i love them. and him.
they make my heart happy every time i look at them.
(vivian helping herself to the treat cupboard also makes me smile)
HAPPY FALL!!
it's here, and i'm excited.
