This morning I got up at 6:45 to take my daughter to her PSAT’s. How quickly these last 15 years have gone by, I can’t quite believe that she’ll be going to college in less than 3 years. But rather than dwell on that rather frightening thought, I decided to take advantage of being up so early to take Tucker for a walk. I’m so lucky to live in Hunterdon County. The leaves are absolutely beautiful this year, a pleasant side effect from all that horrible rain and cold weather we had late summer and into the fall. This morning, the air is crisp and clear,the sky is blue and the fall leaves are at their most brilliant.

| Some of the best foliage we’ve had in years due to all that rain. |

| I believe I would call this “a riot of colors.” |
 |
| Tucker, of course, was in his glory. Not only does he get to smell all those moldy leaves, but there’s always the ever cheerful red fire hydrant, his favorite spot. |

Fall has always been one of my favorite times of the year. I love the leaves changing, the crispness of the air, the end of the humidity of summer (although not so sure about that this year, with all this rain!) and the fact that we’re getting close to the holidays. This year I will have even more to celebrate, as it’s my first Fall and Christmas season post BC. I hope everyone else is enjoying it too. Plus, it’s my birthday month 🙂 Happy Birthday to all my fellow Libra friends out there.
Beautiful fall colors, Claudia! NC has yet to change color–we’re still getting all our flowers blooming, but the light has changed, and the dappled shadows are amazing on the curtains this time of year. It’s cooler, and pretty out. I love it. Happy almost-birthday! Good luck to Kyra!
You live in Hunterdon County?? Do you know my sister & her family: Jennifer Smith & Bob Pyle? They live in Clinton.
Yes! And, I don’t know them, but know OF them. Their son is (or used to be) in the same school as my kids – CPS. Small world 🙂 XO Claudia
That is SO wild!! Very small world, indeed. I was just in Clinton a few weeks ago visiting them. I love that town!
Isn’t it a great little town? 🙂 I love it here…….
