why, hello Fall!

I'm so happy you've made your entrance

 (though yesterday was literally 90 degrees with almost gale force winds).

I have all the confidence in the world that temps will be more Autumn like soon,

 because that's what it's like here in the northern Midwest.

Lots of change.

Last weekend I took Grace and Will to this adorable little farm.

I drive by it probably 3 times a week and had never stopped before.



It's called the Prairie Garden Farm and it sells locally grown flowers, fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables.

And right now pumpkins and Indian corn.

The property has beautiful barns and farm buildings.

2 large barns are painted blue with vibrant orange - red wooden doors.
A lovely opportunity for pictures and enjoying time together.

My kids were quite taken with a friendly mama cat and her almost grown up kitties.

And why did I take them and Dan didn't go along?

He's been in Sydney, Australia for business for 8 days, and will be returning home tonight.

We've missed him terribly, but it's probably been hardest for Will.

He and his Daddy are inseparable.
Welcome home Dan!

(On the pumpkin image above I used 2 textures

(Pumpkin and Morning Light) from Chasing Dreams Fall texture set).

 And Happy Fall y'all. :)
