Fall is in the air

The trees across the street have started to get some yellow leaves. I have always loved fall. I love the feel of the air, I love the changing of the leaves, I love the pumpkins and scarecrows that decorated my house. But, I had a thought this week. I won't have another summer when the wildflowers are at the age they are now. Next summer they might be riding big kid bikes rather than their cute Radio Flyer trikes. Riding up and down in front of our house might not be as fun as it was this summer. They will both be potty trained, which isn't a bad thing, just a little sad. They will be another year older. I am just trying to enjoy these last few weeks of summer with my 2 and 3 year old. Today, along with auntie Christel, we took them for a walk thru Garden of the Gods and to the park for lunch. It doesn't matter how many times you visit the Garden, it never fails to amaze you. There are a few other random pics from this week also....enjoy!

How fun to live in a place where you can get in the car and drive to a beautiful place. I've been to the Garden of the Gods once when I was little so I don't remember it very much. It looks breathtaking!

Such a blessing to have The Garden so close by. I could go visit there everytime we come to the Springs to visit Chris' mom and dad.
