Fall: Recap part 1

I'm not going to lie: Fall is my favorite season of the year. Perhaps it's the crisp breeze that's reminiscent of burning leaves and stale flannel blankets; the cloudless azure sky with the distant sound of Canadian geese departing for warmer winds; I find myself groping for the outlines and textures of warmer clothes in my dark closet, pulling on knee-high leather boots that have seen their share of falling leaves and pumpkin patches. It might just be the shortening of days, when darkness falls and I'm inclined to bake fruit pies and the like. 


I thought it might be nice to reminisce with autumn photos I've taken from the past few years. I'll be posting a few photos from my collection in the next few posts. Look for the next post Friday. I hope you enjoy and possibly post a few of your own fall memories on your blog, too!

Mornings, 2011

Cool breezes are settling in; fall is nearing. Apple picking comes to mind along with tartan fabics and old leather.  Soon we will be greeted by the goodbyes of the geese, flying to warmth and a new life.

Words I can live by.

"If you are depressed,

you are living in the past.

If you are anxious,

you are living in the future.

If you are at peace,

you are living in the present."

-Lao Tzu

All from here.

Momo winks at you.

Something, soon.

I promise. And he does, too!

Clever art and a dream.

Also, this review by Brian Ferry sounds fantastic. One day, I would like to open my own coffee shop/ restaurant/ small event space/ bookstore. What a great combination. And the photos are a wonderful addition to the text.

Happy Monday.

It's been awhile.

Wow, the last blog post's title basically sums it up around here. Sorry for the silence, but life and things get in the way sometimes and it is hard to keep routines up, like this blog, for example.

On April 1 we got the keys to our new apartment, and on April 2 we got an 8 week old puppy. Between moving ourselves out of our old apartment and into our new one, puppy proofing the new apartment, not fully being moved in until the 15th of April (when our lease on our old apartment ended), we have been going nonstop. Let's just say, we don't want to move again for a very very long time.

It finally feels like late spring/ early summer. On Easter we had temperatures of almost 85 degrees. We had family over for Easter dinner and thankfully we had the air conditioning on, otherwise it would have been overbearingly warm. Then there were thunderstorms at night which reminds me of heat lighting during the summer. I love the feel of spring rain when it is hot outside, and that is exactly what we experienced when we walked our dog to say goodbye to my family that evening.

If you are interested, we have started a blog for our dog here. Posts are infrequent at best, but it might be interesting to see him grow into a giant dog (we are guessing) over the months.
