I love Fall y'all

 I love Christmas but I want to enjoy every little bit of fall and Thanksgiving especially.

While in the process of wiping down my steps, I noticed how pretty the crepe was so I had to stop for a while and take a walk out. 

 Crepe Myrtle is showing off this year.  This was a couple days ago, most of the leaves have fallen.
Zinnias in back yard still going strong. 
I planted these marigolds back in Spring and they look much more colorful now
French Marigold is my favorite and was in the same seed packet as the yellow above


Leaves still changing but not so much in far back yard but the those awful acorns have fallen and we will use several large Ace bags to get those up in. 
Hard to walk on too.

That Crepe - love it.
Last of the Dahlias picked and brought in
I made some Autumn soup, I used one large butternut squash and two small pumpkins from my sisters garden.  I also add an apple to the soup, spices, cream and pepitas on top.  Had to have a salad to go with it.  Those grape tomatoes I am still picking form my plants in pots. 

Less than two weeks ago we took a ride on Skyline Drive.  Gorgeous as always.

Nice day trip and now ready for another.  One thing about where we live in Virginia, we are about two hours from the ocean and two from the mountains or little less, depending on where in the mountains we decide to travel too.  
Bye for now 🍂🌄
