Fall 2014

We have been spoiled this year! This Summer was cool and now Fall has been absolutely gorgeous. Ok, winter was bad, but I just try to forget... The beautiful colors of fall that haven't been quite as bright in recent years finally decided to blossom for us this year.

Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons. I love wearing the light jackets, the scarves, and enjoying those last precious moments of nice weather. When the leaves crunch under your feet as you walk. The way that a warm October fades deliciously into a cool November. When we turn inward and spend time at home, cooking, baking, making cocktails. Inviting friends over to enjoy in all the cooking, baking, and cocktails. I listen to jazz music in the Fall, because it just feels right. Fall is when our towns and our hours most feel like home. Familiar and cozy.

This October has been amazing! Enjoy some of the photos I have taken.

Photos were taken in Minnesota and Iowa.

Hello Fall!

Today was the most beautiful day. The weather was like a perfect summer day, but nature was trying to tell us it is Fall with all the amazing orange and reds starting to peak out. Today also happened to be Museum Day, which is sponsored by the Smithsonian for museums nationwide to provide complementary passes to anyone. With our passes in hand, we drove out to Chaska to visit the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. 

It was the perfect day. We got lost among the gardens, woods, and prairies. We stumbled pass weddings and we even ran into an outdoor walking play. Enjoying the beautiful day, we walked a bit more than we meant and we left tired yet fulfilled from taking in this gorgeous Indian Summer day. Before we all start to bundle up again, it was nice to remember how beautiful Minnesota an really be.
