The pumpkin festival at the Dallas Arboretum. My favorite time of year.

come late november days

and late fall delays

to yield to winter's demand

the time between is upon the land

the trees are overtly naked

bending beneath age and forsake'd

of their colored glory

yet not, and still full of story,

beauty not forsaken

just a different sort taken

eyes blessed to behold it all

creation's mighty call

and in the end

it still happens at the river's bend.

You can see the cattle bunched, bracing from the wind.

Playtime Dress in Little Lisette cord from Joann's a few years ago. Love this pattern, might be my fave yet! Size 18-24 on my 22 month old.

Ended our cross country workout at Holland State Park on Lake Michigan. A little boy made his way over to join us while we did strength work. Yes, I asked his dad for permission before taking this :)
