"Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn."

-   Elizabeth Lawrence 

I have more to say about that, though it won't all be said yet tonight.  Suffice it to say that is an important line right there. I saw a beautiful sign hanging in a hallway the other day that read, "The world does not need more successful people.   The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds." This is firmly fixed in my mind these days. Onward…

The farmer brought us a load of pumpkins last week. It isn't a British "thing" so it was especially sweet they saved some for us when they were harvested.  Some of the family went to Ireland so we're waiting until tomorrow to carve them.  

 

 

Yes, it's the end of October and yes, my sons will be wearing shorts all winter. File that thought away for any future pictures of them ok?

 

This is Abbie Rose's official, sweet as pie, autumn picture. 

 

 This was pretty darn funny though….

 

I know a lot of people say their kids hate taking pictures but I have a big group of hams which makes my job a lot easier. 

 

 

 

 

 

I have a thing with shooting vertical shots.  My husband almost never, ever turns the camera.  Ever.  Random, totally useless bit of information there.  Just noticed is all. Hope your month has been filled with candy corn and sweaters and all good things.
