And with her being a mountain cow near a tourist town, I assumed she’d yodel if I asked nicely. This indifferent stare was all I got in return. (sigh) The nerve.

This was taken of our church’s steeple while I sprinted to choir practice. About an hour before sunset is a great time of day…the sun makes colors so intense.

There’s a certain tree in town that we love to keep an eye on each fall. We drive down the street that it’s on, round a bend, and – wow – there it is in its autumn glory. It hasn’t started turning yet, but I want to take a picture of it about once a week to track its changes. Here’s Week One.

…is from the porch of Blue House, which is a cup o’ Coffee Heaven. I think I would cry if this place ever closed. And then I’d cry again.

Even though this one won’t win any photography contests, I love it because of the subject. This is my new, beloved Starbucks tumbler. I predict that I’ll spend many fall days and evenings with this beaut by my side.

I think it’s obvious why I posted this picture. It features something quintessentially autumn. What do you mean you don’t see it? …Beans! It’s the beans, of course. Wait, you mean that you don’t think that autumn = beans?
Okay, I can tell you’re not buying it.
I’ll confess: I just wanted to post this because of something fun we did tonight. We had a dinner at church with the youth group and their families. It was a “Crazy Cafe.” You may have been to one of these before. It’s a four-course dinner, and you order all four courses up front, four menu items at a time. The catch? All of the menu items are in code, so you don’t know what you’re ordering. You may end up with a big ol’ plate of beans and only a knife for a utensil, if you get any utensils at all. And that’s what happened to Linda here. She was a great sport, and we all had a great time!
(I promise I won’t write a book for each blog post. But hey, I’m a writer so I guess I can’t help it!) =)

Like you, I love fall! And when September rolls around, I don’t care if people are still flip-flopping around and passing out from the heat. Without apology my fall decorations come out of hibernation. Here’s a small sample.
