Photo Challenge: Eyes

Pin It

I know all moms are probably this way, but I just adore the eyes of my babies! When I saw Faith's photo challenge this week, "Eyes" it has taken me a while to get around to entering the challenge because I couldn't settle on a single picture to enter. I have so many shots of BOTH of my girls' eyes and all of them I find special. With some help from my hubby and mom, I finally settled on this one of Elena.

Fall

Pin It

Fall used to be my favorite season. I was raised in the middle of 17 acres of woods and my grandparents owned about 30 acres right across the road from us. I loved bundling up and walking through the woods hearing the leaves crunching beneath my feet. When I was in high school, I also hosted a camp-out each November where we pitched tents, played capture the flag and served up weenies and eggs for supper and breakfast for about 18-20 of my closest friends.

I don't know if my blood is thinner or it's just that I don't have the woods right at my doorstep any longer, but the cold weather is no longer something I look forward to. Regardless of that fact, I can't help but see the beauty of God's paintbrush all around me in the fall and be thankful, cold weather and all!
