apples and pumpkins past...

mr. rooster and i are going to get our pumpkins soon... i can't wait... i love pumpkin pickin' time... a few years ago we went to pick out pumpkins with his parents at a farm in wisconsin. i was so excited for the outing... i had it all planned out in my mind... it was going to be a cool day we would wear sweaters...drink apple cider... go out pick some apples... then move on to the pumpkin patch and locate just the right one...or ten...

well... that was all fairly accurate with the exception to the weather... it did not cooperate with my fantasy at all... in fact i believe it was 90 degrees that day out in the apple orchard and pumpkin patch... 

here is mr. rooster and his dad picking out some perfectly imperfect apple for us.

we had such a great time pickin' apples and pumpkins... i can't wait to go get our pumpkin this year!!

je suis ici.

it is a chilly night here in happy valley... we are expecting 1" of snow... mr. rooster and i are cuddled up here next to the fire place... the pilot is out... so we are using our imagination for the actual flames. snow in september is not the norm even up here in the mountains, in fact, the light blanket we received last night was not exactly welcome.

fall however, is a welcome time. it is a magical time... the air changes... it gets crisp and there is a fragrance sweeps through the valley... the leaves begin to change... things slow down a bit... which has lead me to start a chronicle of my world... of living life to its fullest every single day... enjoying every drop... the good with the bad.


so here i am.
