wonderful fall

Christmas is sneaking in.  First I bought Christmas hand soaps for the bathrooms last weekend and thought we might as well start using them now since they usually last well beyond the holiday season anyway.  Nope, no harm in that.  Then after a heavy and wet first snowfall that (sadly) melted same day last week, we noticed others putting up their lights on our street.  Two things came to mind:  a) I'm way behind this year & b) I'm sure the weather will be fabulous the day we put ours up.  The light boxes made it from the attic to the hallway and as I stare at them now I can't help but think that before Christmas is in full swing I should take a brief second to think about what a wonderful fall it has been.  We have so much to be thankful for.

Here are some pictures of one my favorite fall memories this year when my little family took a drive out to Center Grove Orchard.  As you can see Dan took some really great pictures.  It was fun for everyone!
