After last night’s first frost & dusting of snow, our trees were quick to loose their leaves. Creating beautiful carpets of color under every tree. Some beautiful mixed medleys, while others created a stunning ombre blended sidewalk.

Woke up this morning with the first dusting of snow in Chicago.
With a forecast of more to come. I’m SO not ready for this!!!

Leaves are changing. Leaves are falling.
My favorite month is all too quickly coming to an end.

HAPPY OCTOBER… HAPPY PUMPKIN SEASON.
Now bring on the pumpkins, the pumpkin pie, the pumpkin spice everything!!!

And does anyone else remember when pumpkins were only orange???
We’ve come so far…

The heatwave has subsided and Fall is definitely in the air.
Thanks to Jay & Cathy for sharing their Fall decor on a green stamped plate!

Is it just me, or is it too early for pumpkins to be on sale at the grocery stores already?
It’s still Summer, right? And look, some of these aren’t even ripe yet!!! Ha!!!

A steamy drive to the studio this afternoon!
Over a hundred degrees… and it’s not even Summer yet!!!

Wonderful Spring colors blooming all around.
Too bad these flowery days are so short lived.

While today is “officially” the first day of Spring… it’s cold, gloomy & gray here in Chicago.
Still waiting for the sun, warmth & flowers to make their way here.

One more… just because you know how much I love witty wordplay!

Another snowy morning. Lots of snow coming down during the morning commute.
Luckily, the evening commute looked a lot better with blue skies breaking through!
