a few things





A few things we love about autumn:
1. Color. Bright boats at the Kickapoo Reserve Dam Challenge.
2. The last moments of summer coming after days of cold. Long hikes through crunchy leaves.
3. Bringing out Susan's rug. (Each fall we roll out the most gorgeous rug you'll ever lay eyes on. Made by Susan Johnson. After a season without it, it always stuns me with its vibrancy and beauty. It runs the length of our downstairs hallway. Iris delighted in it's "newness" and soft wool beneath her feet. We'll love it all winter long, then pack it away for the warm summer months, anticipating its return.)
4. Apples. Dried, sauced, juiced, crisped, and crunched.
Happy Fall.
