Another beautiful week in October! Maybe peek for color? I'm not sure. I do know the smell of dried leaves mixed with the smoke from a woodstove burning is heavenly. Search out and breathe in simple pleasures and beauty when you can, right where you are. We get to choose where we fix our focus.

This little stinker was up a good part of the night again, so of course he fell asleep 1.5 minutes down the road.
After I dropped him off, I went to the orchard where we normally go on Columbus Day. Thousands of people usually attend the three-day festival, but this year, it was empty. So sad. :(
Because they were out of town for my uncle's funeral, Pop and Kiki missed LobsterFest and they are some of the biggest fans of lobster, so we decided there needed to be a LobsterFest 2.0! It had a differnt vibe than our summer-y Labor Day fest, but it was fun!!
There are necessary, not-fun projects happening at the new office. Shaun is digging ditches and re-routing water to get the basement dry.
I love how the morning sun kisses our front door.
I don't know why the builders kept a forest of trees in our front yard, but this time of year they sure are pretty.
One girls head lice is another girl's gain...Avery got to start varsity!! She's grown in confidence and strength and skills over last year and its so fun to watch.

The sunrise right now is timed perfectly with bus pickup time. So pretty!
Aiden had another cross country meet, this time just with two schools. He finishes middle of the pack in these meets. Very kind of one of the home team parents to take photos and share!

The dogs have been taking Amy and I walking every week. The path we walk is stunning right now and its a highlight of my week.

More walking, this time with my little guy. Its just SUCH a gorgeous time of year to be outside and also its here today, gone tomorrow.
The new office property is very picturesque...Aiden is anxious to go fishing in the stream next spring when we get some rain.
Sometimes the kids are willing helpers who work hard, other times they complain and argue and make extra work for us.

We had some visitors at the property, where there are plentiful leaves and hiding places. :)
Look at that kid in red! :)
On game days the girls soccer team chooses different themes to wear to school. The girls were trying on my clothes, attempting to find something that would work for country day. They know my closet is the place to go if you need decades-old boot cut jeans. :)
