WHEN TATE WAS IN PRE-SCHOOL…..COOPER WAS A NEWBORN , and little PHOEBE WAS 2 and a half….and on SOME DAYS I WOULD PICK UP TATE FROM SCHOOL…AND we would WALK OVER TO THE LAWN…TATE AND PHOEBE WOULD RUN IN THE CRUNCHING LEAVES….COOPER WOULD SLEEP IN THE BABY BJORN …SUCH SWEET MEMORIES

“Maybe one day you will go to COLLEGE HERE!!!!” I WOULD SAY…

” WHAT IS COLLEGE?” THEY would ask..AND RUN OFF AHEAD…before I could even answer.

IT IS STARTING TO HAPPEN….THE CHANGE OF SEASON…

AUTUMN is my favorite season…I LOVE FALL…the change of seasons…the colors….I feel energized by the changes…so many of my favorite memories took place in the FALL…ALL the Halloweens – we were even married in the Fall!

While I tend to use “cooler” colors in my decorating… I do so love the warmth of these AUTUMN colors! They evoke such good feelings, happy memories of new beginnings.

Lesli,
These autumn colors fascinate me. Don’t you feel like this is really the New Year? New school year, new box of crayons, new shoes, new teachers, new paths! Let’s bake an apple pie and wish upon a new moon!
Love you!
