We're In It!

 We are in it!  

Fall has fully arrived with its colorful leaves, crisp, cool air and the desire to get out there, to explore and dive into nature is upon us.  The light this time of year is remarkable and immersing ourselves outside just feels right.  So, hikes, playing at parks, treks to the forest, long trail runs and eating all things pumpkin is what we are giving into these days.  We do our best to make the most of this ephemeral season knowing that in a few short months we will retreat inside to brave the long, dark winter ahead.

We Are...

We Are...

In it...we are fully in the midst of fall and we love it!

 This face...I can hardly stand how big Noah looks.

 This time of year is amazing.  We were lucky enough to witness the harvesting of the grapes.

 This horse was so perfectly still....Noah was wondering if he was indeed real!

Blessed to have such dear friends on the island.

Still smiling at our international Thanksgiving celebration.

 Seriously...how is this possible?

 It is looking like fall!

 And just like that the rain came on our morning hike.

 This face...

 A tiny house with this view would work.  Yes, please!

 This little gem on a tree made our morning hike that much sweeter because it really is the simple things!
