iFall

 I can't even handle fall this year. 

Between the perfect Colorado blue skies and the vibrant fall colors I am in tree heaven. 

 And even though it's just an iPhone camera, these images do my heart good. 

xoxo, fall. 

Delicious Autumn!

Miracles in the mundane?

Yeah.

I think so.

*sigh*

I love you, fall.

And seeing these miracles with my best friend?

Yeah.
Perfection.

xoxo, autumn!

{Doesn't that leaf shadow look like a heart? :)}

Delicious 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

As we sit on the brink of my most favorite season, may we take it all in and call it delicious! Thank you Ms. Elliot for your gorgeous words.

Autumn

It is sort of cliche. I get that. But I am in awe of autumn! It is my most favorite season and I have been pondering why. I came up with this: autumn=change. Change can be difficult. Most people don't really like change. But I have come to realize that change is inevitable. No matter what, things change. Sometimes for the good, sometimes not.

Autumn is a physical, tangible view of change. It happens somewhat gradually, and to me, it is truly magical. I feel like I savor every newly changing leaf and I monitor closely how the trees on my block are changing. I love it and I hate it. I know that the changing and falling leaves mean that the trees will be barren for many months, but I can't keep my eyes off the brilliant colors I see now.

I think autumn teaches me how to deal with change. It tells me that a.) it's going to happen and b.) that it can be beautiful if I look for it. The irony of all of this is I am a very 'stick to the routine' sorta gal. I don't like when things, well, when things change! But I have been through enough to know that nothing stays the same. I cling to what I can in the way of routine, but I must also embrace the changes that occur. Autumn teaches me this.

So thank you, autumn--my miracle in the mundane.
