Falling Into Fall

The weather has turned cold and we have a thick layer of frost on the roofs and car tops every morning now. We even had some slushy rain/snow the other day! It didn't stick, but Jake was outside when it fell and he said it definitely wasn't rain.

Fall is in full swing and the trees are absolutely beautiful! Last weekend we went for a (cold) walk through Lillie Park to see some of the foliage - it was really lovely!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope you all had a nice Day O' Love! We enjoyed a quiet night at home together — the best way to celebrate.

Fading Fall at Lillie Park

We had a quiet day on Saturday, staying close to home and enjoying each other's company now that Jake's barrage of tests has past. The weather has been so nice and we wanted to get some fresh air, so we went for a hike through Lillie Park.

The last time we visited this park, in August, we were attacked by mosquitos, even though we were covered in repellant. But the park was very beautiful and we were looking forward to a visit sans bugs. Lillie Park in the fall, though, was very different from Lillie Park in the summer. Still beautiful, but no longer lush.
