Perfect Fall Day

Today is the perfect fall day. The sky is blue, no clouds, the air has the crisp feel and you can smell the leaves. We promised the kids the movie Open Season today, or we'd be off doing something outside. We should anyway, but they're so hyped up about it, that we just can't switch gears now.

I shot this photo during my family photo shoot last week. If I owned that property, I'd never leave. Ok... for groceries... but it's so beautiful there. Today, the sky is bluer, and I'm sure all the leaves around the lake have changed. I think maybe I'll throw the camera (ok, not throw... place my dearest Nikon gently) in the back of the truck and make B take the long way home. Maybe check out the ski mountain. Who knows. If I come home with great leaf shots, I'll post some! I don't know if I could ever live anywhere besides the Northeast (ok... you know I'm obsessed with London, or parts around there... but realistically...) the seasons are so wonderful. We have seasons. It is clearly fall. Soon, it will clearly be winter. People may look down at me for driving a 4wd Blazer, but I'd challenge them to get out of my driveway and neighborhood without it in the winter. There are times when the city plow doesn't even make it to us. There are days when the mail truck won't brave the hill. Well... I'm going to go enjoy this perfect day!
