the leaves of the trees

nick and i rode our bikes to the post office and i took pictures of all of the beautiful fall colors! i love the sound of the leaves crunching underfoot.

i pass by this tree every day on my way to school and am always amazed at how vibrant it is. when the sun hits it just right it looks like it is on fire...

and here's nalu relaxing on his new doggie bed.

late night television

long day at work today...

what a mess!

we decided to try nalu in a small room instead of his crate while we were gone today.

we found out we can't trust him yet!!!

out and about

we went to butte today in hopes of finding a new sofa... did not get a new one today but saw some good stuff along the way. i love all the old brick buildings.

it's beginning to look like fall!

random blooms

playing catch up

well, life got a little busy and i haven't posted on here in a while... candice came to visit, my computer got a virus leaving it out of commission, school started back up again, and the puppy got hurt. here's some pix of the last couple weeks.

Nalu and I at school

Nalu broke his leg and had surgery. Some staples and a pin and he's (almost) back to normal.

a sunny day for sunflowers

one of our sunflowers FinAlLY bloomed!
the rest are still sleeping...

we await their lovely petals!

walk at sunset

a chill in the air

fall seems to be upon us

painted pastel sky

my kind of sky

i've got a great view (even w/ the telephone wires)

my grapes

our grapes are finally the shade they were meant to be! just in time for cold weather...

whenever i see, smell, or hear about grapes, i think of the work, THE GRAPES OF WRATH

"Man, unlike any other thing organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments."

The Grapes of Wrath

dancing partner

i LOVE my dog... he dances with me (yes, it is actually a trick i taught him!), makes me smile and inspires me.

spare time...time to spare

he's the fastest reader i've ever met
