To be interested in the changing seasons is . . . a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.

Waving goodbye to Autumn, here are some best moments/photos from my favorite season:

Enrique snaps a shot of this wild tom at the Effie Yeaw nature center while on vacation in Sacramento. He runs off, so glad to be free and not at Butterball Farms where his relatives all end up on Thanksgiving tables.

It's a lovely day filled with friends.

Still, some days feel incredibly sad and empty without the children and loved ones far away. Sin embargo algunos días parecen muy tristes y vacías con los hijos y seres queridos tan lejos. |

Hey Mary good to see you have been busy baking.
ReplyDeleteI too am a little less fond of autumn ending and more so of spring beginning, but it is certainly more favourable in Spain than here I am sure. Winter is upon us so lets batten down the hatches for the months ahead, but with a hope that all will be bright again in the coming year.
Lovely to read about what you have all been up to. Hope the bike ride raised lots of money too....
