I spent the afternoon with my camera

I worked my usual 6 hours today, and ran to the bank on my way home.  The Husband looked like he needed a break and it was a beautiful day.  So I suggested a trip to the Arboretum for pictures.  YEA!  I had the most pleasant of afternoons with my youngest.  E, the oldest, decided he didn't want to go anywhere.  Check out my favorite pic for the afternoon.  H2 and I took in some much needed fall color.



Then we drove home and I was so at peace with everything.  Everyone who reads this blog knows that doesn't happen often.  I reboot in nature, what can I say I'm a Virgo.  Then I convinced everyone to go over to the lake with me to watch the sunset.  Surprise, my children took on look at the sun picked up a stick and started playing in the mud.  Oh well, maybe one day they will appreciate stuff like this.

The pics are beautiful, I am glad you finally got your fall leaves. Next thing you know it will be snowing. Enjoy the nice weather, it is 41 here and raining/ snowing!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OMG OMG OMG... I have to tell you that I read the post's title and died laughing. I had this image of you and some husbandly-looking-type-guy taking naughty pictures in some far-and-away Bed and Breakfast and then I started thinking about the scene from Parenthood where Keanu Reeves and Martha Plimpton are messing around and Keanu breaks out a camera and says, "We can record our love," in his best I'm-a-stoned-surfer-voice. Sorry - you see how my odd thought processes get me in trouble? *chortle* BTW, the pictures ARE lovely, even if they are NOTHING LIKE what my perverted little mind conjured up. LOL
