Signs Of Fall

Lizzie and I gathered these first signs of Fall about our neighborhood this week. We've been enjoying crisper evenings and are busy planning all the soups 'n stews we will concoct this season. Happy first weekend of Autumn!

Fall Foliage

We've been enjoying some splendid Fall foliage these past few weeks.

Always more fun to rake wet leaves with a tiny rake (don't ask!).

Our neighbor's golden tree.

The piles of leaves have been dubbed 'nature's pillows' :)

Our neighbor's golden tree the next day.

'Leaf bouquets' are gathered on our daily walks (as if we need more!).

Happy Friday!

Autumn-ish Blocks

I'm posting new, Autumn-ish collage blocks in the shop tonight. Can you believe Fall is right around the corner?

Blanket Of Leaves

The wind has been blowin' here in Kansas since I took these pictures earlier in the week. Now we're enjoying this blanket of leaves outside our back door. I'm thinking a few brisk walks are in order over the weekend so we can crunch through all the pretty leaves 'round the neighborhood.

Happy Fall Y'all

I'm thrilled it actually feels like autumn today on this first official day of Fall--it's sunny, crisp and cool (ie, just perfect!). Aren't these the sweetest illustrations? They are from a grade school primer titled Friends, which was published in 1929 and illustrated by Marguerite Davis. Happy Fall Y'all!
