fun fall day

I thought Summer in Fall City was pretty gorgeous, but Fall is about to kick Summer's behind. It is still warm during the day, but at night the mists come and cool everything all crisp. Starting to need lots of blankets at night, and a sweater in the morning.

Yesterday was full of doubt - I felt overwhelmed about my role as Mama and underwhelmed about the reality that my main goal for the day is feeding and cleaning my family. I really want to go to school or even back to work, but I just can't imagine not spending each day with Leif. It makes me totally crazy to talk to only 3 adults over the course of a day (Britton, a store clerk, and maybe a relative here and there), but then again somedays are really just bliss...

The day started with a run along here:


All dewy:


We harvested some Fall Goodies. Strawberry Popcorn!


Fall raspberries - golden & normal.


Pumpkins, Dahlias, Naked Gardening is an Olympic Sport.


It got hot. Popsicles are a sometimes/outside food:


Time to clean up! Leif helps Mama too:


A little creature came for dinner:
