Autumn Harvest Festival

Our harvest festival this year was at a beautiful persimmon orchard on some beautiful land. 10/16/2009

Fresh air, open space, play, itchy hay, buzzing bees, crazy red ants, dirt roads, hay ride, story and a little history, picnic, harvesting our own persimmons, swirly tire swings, dressing scare crows, yummy picnic with schoolmates and new friends, father sun's beaming rays, sun burn, beautiful trees, wonder, games, local pumpkins, natural fun!









A perfect autumn celebration!

Celebrating Autumn's Arrival

It is so hard to believe that Autumn is here...everywhere we go we are greeted by beautiful pumpkins and apples. Oh my goodness another magical costume is in the brainstorming stage...

Here are a few photos from this past weekend heading to deep east TX to visit my parents and Maxx to stay the night while Mommy does inventory at work. This has become apart of our monthly rhythm and is so special to the both of us. A chance to have clean air, relax even for just one day, and enjoy the outdoors. Inhale....Ahhhhh...

Black Berry Pickers

Today Maxx, Kurt and I ventured to a little bit of the country to pick black berries. Oh what a treat it was.
Maxx took this picture...
There was a magical house elf or fairy? They were not home while we were in the patch.
Look at this lushness!!! Deep breath. Fresh. Clean. Beauty. A dream.





Yummmm!
Oh and when we got out of our car we heard a rooster...Maxx, "They have CHICKENS!?! Was that a rooster?" Feeding the chickens was a winner. Now we want some chickens.


Some of our loot.
Texas heat...whew! Maxx found a fan. "I really need to cool down!"



A scorcher. A great day.
Thanks for joining us Dad!
