fallicious landscapes

since fall is pretty much on its last leg here in the northeast i thought i'd post these awesome fall lanscapes from last weekend taken by beck.

niagara wine trail

this past saturday we spent the day on the Haunted Hallowine tour in the niagara region. niagarawinetrail.org

we went with a trip through our alma matter, a Mount Mercy Alumni Event. 9 winieries, some good wine - some baaad, pretty fall scenery, a murder mystery and diner at the wilson boat house! but mostly lots of fun with friends.

i did not even try this wine - i just loved the label!

more fun fall pics to come from this trip!

the design police

i saw this, and i just had to laugh. i love it. they do exist...www.design-police.org/

settling in to their new home

ellie & billie are settling right in and we couldn't love them more. they are just so sweet and love to snuggle with you and play lots. it's getting easier to tell them apart though in these photos its still impossible to tell who is who. i've grown accustomed to calling them "little faces" recently! the pictures in the shag rug were taken by our friend beck.

fall

even though summer is by far my favorite season i think fall runs a close second. i love fall because of:

• fall colors, browns, oranges, golds, reds and yellows in every shade
  
• the awesome changes in nature
• pumpkins and squash and all things pumpkin flavored
• cool evenings
• halloween decorations
• all things harvesty
• soups & chili
  
• the crunch of the leaves
• the smell of the season
• halloween candy
• tricker treaters
• football
  

some pictures i took last fall...
