what real fall looks like

we’re back from montana, refreshed and ready for the craziness that comes with halloween and is quickly followed by thanksgiving and Christmas to boot. mostly pictures today in a less is more kind of fashion {for once}. i will say there’s nothing like a “real” fall to get you in the mood for the upcoming holidays. well, that and pumpkin flavored everything {just today i consumed : a pumpkin bagel, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin bread and pumpkin ice cream. #freak} annnnnd now, i’m way off target. so much for less is more, on account of words and pumpkin flavored consumables.

real fall. take two.

and i’ll end you with a poem that i’ve loved since i was a little girl…and has nothing to do with anything except it mentions fall and i like it 🙂

rabbits and foxes
as soon as it’s fall
get coats that are warm
with no trouble at all,
coats that are furry
and wooly and new,
heavy and thick
so the cold can’t get through.

they don’t have to buy them
or dye them or try them,
they don’t have to knit them
or weave them or fit them,
they don’t have to sew them
or stitch them all through,

they just have to grow them,
and that’s what they do.

later, i’ll blog about pressing cider and pumpkin chuckin’ 2013.

cheers {raises pumpkin latte}, i’ve missed you *
