What a beautiful day!


I hate the upcoming cold weather, but I have to say, days like this are breath taking. The sky is as blue as I have seen it in a long time, the smell of drying leaves and grass remind me of being a little kid and running around our old neighborhood on Broadway, and my walks with Ava are even better now that I get to show her all the beautiful colored leaves falling around us.

Fall has always made me feel nostalgic and this year is no different, maybe even more so because we have Ava who gets to experience all of this for the first time and we get to help her create memories. I also always wish my family was closer so I could go knock on one of their doors and spend the afternoon together. Happy Fall!

The smell of the air now always reminds me of picking apples in Grandma Lula's yard.... this time of year always seems a bit tinged with melancholy. N'est ce pas?

I know, why is that? It is such a beautiful time of year yet we all walk around bummed...it's only because we know what's to come...WINTER, BLAH! I miss grandma!
