Falling

I do not like being cold. Thus, I always greet the fall season with a cringe and multiple layers of clothing. I get a little depressed knowing that winter is next- the seemingly unending season of cold. I have often wondered to myself why I don't live somewhere in the south where winter is fifty degrees. But then, we get days like today that you just wouldn't get in places without four distinct seasons. Today was beautiful. Everything was green from our recent autumn rains, but some of the trees and plants were already starting to turn those glorious shades of yellow, orange and red. It was sunny and in the mid-sixties all day long. The boys and I just couldn't stay inside. We drove to Chagrin Reservation for a picnic, feeding the geese at the pond and a walk in the woods. As we were driving back home after our excursion Gabe said from the backseat, "Mom?" "Yes, Gabe?" "That was fun!"
Today I am in love with fall. Here are some of my favorite pictures from our outing. I may have had a little too much fun with some of the color settings on my camera but it's not often that my boys are well-behaved enough for me to play around so just indulge me.

P.S. Is there anything that says "fall" more than little boys in overalls? I know I'm biased, but I think my little boys in overalls are the cutest things ever. Just one more reason to love the season.
