Fall

It's definitely fall around here, although it didn't feel like it this week. But now, just in time for Halloween, the weather has turned colder (supposed to be in the 30's at night this weekend! Where are we, Massena NY??). And the leaves are changing. And there's pumpkins galore. And mums. And a super cute child. Here's some pictures of fall from our little neck of the woods. Enjoy!

A few shots from Longwood Gardens, where we went three times last week. It's looking very fall-like there, although the leaves aren't quite changing yet. We'll have to go back this week to see if they've turned yet:

That's Dex signing "train" because he heard the train whistle from the very cool model train exhibit.

Mums. And wicked cool trains.

Nice pumpkin display at the outdoor children's garden

Pumpkins make good chairs

Pictures from our house:

Looking down the road from our deck.

Neighbor's yard. Their maple trees are pretty.

Small child. With balls. And pretty trees.

I think that maple is technically the neighbor's. But the leaves fall in our yard, so we'll claim it for now.

More cute child. More balls. Pretty much the same trees.

And shots from our daily morning walk around the block:

Just across the road. Not quite changed yet (neither are the maples in our yard)

But some have changed and left pretty leaf carpets

A little further down the road there's flashes of color

And then you turn the corner and go around to the other side of the "U" and it's a whole different season over there.

Maybe it's from all the cow manure washing down to that side

I never quite realized til this week that a HUGE cow farm is DIRECTLY behind these houses. No wonder it always smells like silage.

Still the other side of the "U"

And speaking of fall... Dex took a tumble at the playground on the last day of Fair Hill. He scored himself a nice fat upper lip. He was only traumatized the day of the injury. John? I think he's still traumatized. Poor boy.

You should see the other guy...
