Fall is Here!!

The weather's cooler, the leaves are all turning and, except for the bright festive pumpkins inhabiting it, our family garden is pretty much empty. I think it's safe to say that fall has officially arrived to the Inland Northwest.

Nothing quite like having leaves decorate the yard and woods...

And let's not forget the other ''decorations'' inhabiting the woods these days-boys, guns and dogs. ;)

Hope you're all having a wonderful fall season as well!! It goes by so quickly-so enjoy every minute of it!!

Hot Air Balloon Rally

We wake up. The sun is shining cold and clear outside.

The pilot's gloved hand pulls the valve and fire awakens the bright colors to life.

We jump out of bed and race to get our jeans and boots on.

It happens every year. And yet somehow those balloons coming up on the horizon, in the early September morning, remain just as wondrous today as they were seven years ago the first time we saw them.
