Our tree has bloomed into the full fall spectrum and I am literally here for it, having enjoyed significant time admiring it throughout the weekend.

One of the more enjoyable parts of reaching an age where nostalgia-based media is being created for you, is discovering that tons of people also loved the “weird” things you did, they just all attended different schools.

It can seem like every time you grow into a new life, it immediately outgrows you.

I welcome the fall colors and temperatures with open arms.

While enjoying coffee on a beautiful day, this giant carpenter bee floated by and settled onto the edge of my brother in-law’s shorts. We didn’t freak out and just let him rest there. This ended up being the bee’s final moments of life.
I’d like to think we made his exit at least a little humane.
