Golden

This is by far the most lovely fall I can remember.  I would like to press the pause button so I can savor it just a little longer....

I love the view out our side living room window.  The picture does not do it justice.  The way the sun filters through the leaves and fills the living room with a golden, autumny glow..... ahhhhh.

That same beautiful tree extends up to our bedroom window and it's the first thing I see when I open our curtains in the morning.  Soon it will be bare and covered in snow....which has its own beauty I suppose. ;) 

and now for your entertainment....these are the faces of Gil as I was backing out of the driveway.  Doesn't he look desolate?

and then he flopped down on the ground and probably fell asleep. :) 

Now....I need to go be a flurry of productivity.  There is cleaning and baking and preparing for the weekend to be done!  I'm looking forward to our annual ladies conference at the chapel this Saturday.  The theme is hospitality.  Can't wait to hear what the Lord has put on Nancy's heart.  My mom is coming and we're hosting a couple ladies from Kansas.  It's going to be fun!
