Is that my face I see in you?

Hello friends and blog readers!

Chris and I are knee deep in the fall weather folks. We are fine weather friends, like birds of a feather that flock together. Chris says that autumn is the best time of year. Here are his reasons:

Number 1. Leaves. They fall! This just amazes dear Chris. Chris is just always running around trying and either tape, staple, paper clip or do anything he can to get those leaves back on the trees. I just shrug my shoulders and tell him that that's not what MN (Mother Nature) had in mind. He's just trying to do what he can to keep the earth green, instead of red, yellow, or orange. I admire his green ambitions.

Number 2. Apple Cider. Cider now replaces all other liquids. From September-November, it's all he'll drink. For breakfast, it's Cherrios covered in apple cider. Had a hard day? Hit me hard with an apple cider. Like Chris always says, an apple cider a day keeps the bearded magician at the back door.

Number 3. Pumpkins. Yesterday Chris insisted upon picking our own pumpkins. We hiked through about 3 corn fields before finding the perfect pumpkin patch. These pumpkins, for some weird reason were accompanied by a pack of lobsters. Yeah, we didn't get it either. Chris carved a koala with bunny slippers on in his pumpkin and I carved a giraffe with a cowboy hat. They represented our favorite animals and our favorite article of clothing, Chris' idea of course.

So that about gets you up to speed on our life as of late. Oh, one more thing. Here's a picture of Chris and I on our way into Meijer a couple weekends ago. He insisted that I go to the store with him to get popsicles,..even to the point of almost strangling me. So, like any good wife, I went along. Turns out I needed some 7up anyway.

Here's a valid question though: Is Chris' foot on the ground, or in the air? The world may never know...
