Enjoying the Beautiful Fall Morning

We’ve had lots of rain this week so I was glad to be able to walk this morning without rain falling. There was lots of beautiful Fall color to enjoy while I walked.

Fall

It’s just three more days until the first day of Fall. While I was walking this morning I noticed some Fall color on display already. We’ve been enjoying some beautiful September weather this week and the weather was great again this morning. I love summer and it passes so quickly but it’s hard to  complain when it is replaced with the beauty of Fall.

Getting Back into an Exercise Routine

After fighting a cold for a couple of weeks and not feeling very well, I’m finally starting to feel much better. I didn’t exercise much while I wasn’t feeling well, so I’m trying to get back on track this week. I enjoyed walking this morning but didn’t have my usual strength and energy. It was a beautiful morning and I enjoyed being out in the fresh air.

Community Cookout

We had a community cookout at our church yesterday. The weather was beautiful and thanks to the hard work of many wonderful people, everything was very nice.

The kids really enjoyed the bounce house. Josiah was so worn out from this and other fun stuff at the cookout, that he laid his head down on the table this morning while he was eating breakfast. He even admitted to being tired.

Face painting was a hit. Zack got a spider on his cheek.

Wildflowers

As I was walking this morning I enjoyed seeing many pretty wildflowers along the way.

These flowers were closed when I began walking but on my return home the sun was higher in the sky and they had opened.

Burst of Color

While I was walking along the trail this morning, I noticed these pretty wildflowers. They provided a colorful contrast to the greens and browns of the woods.

Sunny Day

I sure am enjoying the beautiful weather we’ve had lately. Luke joined me for a pleasant walk to the lake this morning.

After the Rain

We’ve had some rainy days so I was glad the sun was shining this morning and I could get out and walk. I missed my walk yesterday although Kristi, Zack and I managed to get a quick bike ride in between rain showers.
