Occupy Wallstraße

• Wallstraße... I had to occupy it to take the picture
• Autumn leaves are occupying the sidewalks of Wallstraße
• Leaves on car, sunshine, trees slowly become bare, etc
• Fruit-by-the-Foot colored leaves

Orange

These pumpkins were made for carvin'... Mine is modeled after the scary pumpkin from my favorite children's Halloween book The Magic Pumpkin (published in 1984).

Autumn treasures fall into my backyard.

Here I am showing off Autumn.

Love Always.

Can you dig it?

Can I just start by saying how much I love living in a place where on October 25th, the high was 75 degrees? Ah, it is so wonderful! My brother Christopher called to tell me that in Wyoming yesterday it was snowing big, f l u f f y flakes. That is my favorite kind of snowfall, but I am certainly not ready for it.

Christopher came to visit me for a long weekend this month, and we had such fun! It is so special for me when he can be here. I miss him all the time.

The trees weren't showing much color when he first got here, but by the time he left, fall was upon us! This week now, the leaves are stunning hues of crimson, orange, and gold. They adorn the brick sidewalks on the Hill, and they make the neighborhood look like beautiful artwork. Some trees are still completely green though, so hopefully these colors will last another few weeks. I stepped on the perfect crunchy leaf on my way to the coffee shop the other day. It was large and had dried in a convex shape- just waiting for me to crunch it!

I will be sure to put pictures up soon. My pumpkin is carved and the leaves are too beautiful to not share. Also, I have decided upon a Halloween costume. I finally found a reason to wear my little black dress! Hint:

"I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like..."

Love Always.
