Savoring Autumn


taking a moment to find joy in the little things

{pretty} and {happy}
So much beauty this time of year. It's started raining again and the landscape is returning to its lush green color. I took most of these photos on Saturday, when I had the chance to meet up with a fellow instagram friend who was visiting my neck of the woods from Michigan. We'd never met, and it's always fun to turn online friends into real life friends. I had fun showing her around one of my favorite areas...the waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. 











{funny} and {real}

It's so weird to me that I have to mow now that summer is over. I start mowing in March, but by July I'm usually done for the summer - because it stops raining and the grass starts dying. But now that it's fall and the rain has started up, the grass is growing and it's time to mow again. I've lived in this house for 5 years now, and I've never seen the leaves turn red like this...





also...it seems I have a mushroom farm in my backyard

I found a frog to pose on the leaf, but couldn't find one willing to pose on the mushrooms.

  2. I use to go hang out in the gorge when I was in University. It was the place I went to make big decisions.

  7. Gorgeous! I can't believe you have lush green grass. I wish ours lasted the winter instead of going dormant brown.
