greeting the new season

..























































There had been a great feeling of the changing season all through the month of September, and the first day of autumn felt just right and so so good. Although it hadn't been the original plan, we ended up spending most of the day at the lake, which was wonderful of course. (Also we were celebrating not just the first day of autumn but Jason's birthday too.) This place is very special to us. We used to live on the hillside overlooking the the lake, it is where Chloe was born. It is is one of our very favorite places. Right now we are keeping our horses out there, it has been nice to be spending more time there lately.

And the first autumn day was bright and sunny, with a good wind blowing and making us think of St. Michael riding through the forest on his snowy white horse...

Our autumn days have been full and beautiful. I have much to tell you about.. cozy days full of knitting and sewing, a visit from friends, and homeschool days too of course. So I will return here soon...

Wishing you all happy and beautiful days in this new season ahead!

Oh Renee, I am wanting to hear more...I love your photos ~ that first photo looks so much like our valley! I suppose you are just down south and veered to the Rockies, right? I love the winds of autumn blowing, and yes, we can imagine that, too. We looked for him in the clouds rolling by. Happy birthday to your Jason ~ yet another cusp person. Hugs Renee, I do so want to hear more from you!
