I spend almost all the daylight hours...

I have been biting my nails waiting for this darn snow to hit us. I know it's hit some of you and I hope you are enjoying the change of season - even if it has hit you sooner than you would have liked. I sent out cards recently that had a quote written on them by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
When I read it, it made me remember how much I love fall, and all it's colors, the warm wind, and the crisp - but not too cold mornings. I hope they all got to you, as I know that I don't have all your addresses. If you didn't receive one, would you please send me a note to let me know and I can collect your address. This photo and the photo below captured Hawthorne's words perfectly:

When was the last time you had a leaf fight?
And if there's no more leaves to throw, how about a snowball fight?
And if ther's no snow or leaves, when was the last time you went outdoors?

Your card was gorgeous. I couldn't figure out who sent it, because the address is complete wrote over. It carried that great message. Thanks. The pictures are so cool in the leaves. Very Canadian with the leaf.

Very cute pictures of the girls in the fall leaves. Can you believe I once got a geat shot here of Danica's 1st fall? I know hard to believe there were enough leaves.
Sadly I didn't get your card...m/b the pony express will still bring it. Our mail is so slow.

That last picture of the girls with their friends is beautiful. It could be in a magazine.

Those leaves are so gorgeous and vibrant with color! Thanks for the sweet card. Love the quote. Hope you have a great weekend!

That leaf fight looks like lots of fun. I think my girls got to do that last year. Unfortunately our little tree doesn't produce nearly that many leaves, but they still had fun.
I'd love to get one of your pretty little cards. I'd love your address too, then I could add you to my Christmas card list.
email me at firelein6(at)cox(dot)net if you'd like.

I LOVE the picture of the girls in the leaves. So beautiful. We need more leaves falling here in S. California. I miss that! I'm ready for some fall weather. Your girls are so grown up. I LOVE your ninja pictures too. You are so cute!

Love the picture of the girls. It has been some time since we have had a leaf fight. Want to say it was at our last home over 2 years ago.
