Welcome Fall

The last week or so has absolutely defined my favorite part of the Fall season.  The leaves on the trees are more red, orange and yellow then they are green.  We have also had fog that has stuck around for either the majority of the day or (like yesterday and today) the fog just did not lift except for maybe 100 or 200 feet.  Lately we have also been experiencing the cooler weather...and have deceptively beautiful but cold days.

I have been waiting for our "Indian Summer".  The last two years I have lived here we have gotten about two weeks in mid- to late October.  Last week, a couple of the days, the fog lifted mid afternoon to blue sky and warm weather.  Only a few of the days though.  Could that have been our slight "Indian Summer"?  I hope not but it probably was.

The cooler temps and the fog just make me feel a little sleepy, like all I want to do is curl up with a fire, next to my man and read a good book.  Maybe with some peppermint hot chocolate or caramel apple cider...or an amazing cup of coffee!

While I really truly miss my job on the line, I have to admit that I will take the pain of wearing heels, dress pants and having to wake up and spend an hour straightening my hair and putting on make up over freezing my ass off in the rain or snow.  Now come summer time, I will definitely be singing a different tune.  Maybe this kind of "promotion" that I have been given will keep me from getting as sick as I did last year.  That was horrible!

Until next time!

UBC Day 14 - Changing Seasons

It is flipping cold outside and let me tell you what...I might be FROM the great Pacific Northwest but I do not BELONG in the Pacific Northwest.  I do enjoy having seasons...Rain (Fall)...Cold Rain (Winter)...Rain (Spring)...Little Sun (Summer).  Right now I am stuck in the cold rain season...where sometimes it is really cold (like this weekend where I swear my core temperature dropped like 15 degrees just so I would not freeze to death)...sometimes it is rainy...and sometimes it is freaking cold and rainy and windy and miserable!

I do not belong up there.  I know that it rains a ton in the spring and summer in parts of the south but I miss it terribly and I really want to go back.  I am really close to jumping at the opportunity.  It does not hurt the fact that the man that I love with all my heart and soul is from the south and lives in the south...and wants me to come to him.  I just cannot drop everything and leave...not yet anyway!

I favorite season is Fall.  I love the changing of the leaves.  The reds, oranges, and yellows!

I took that picture on a 21 day road trip I took with my ex husband...How can you look at a picture like that and NOT love Fall?!

Until next time!

When Everything Seems To Be Going Wrong...



Lucky enough to get this shot!




Morning fog makes for breath taking sun rise pics.





It was the calm before the snow...all that snow we had in January.

 


Just another morning at work!




Leaving work one night and I just happened to have my camera.




Another beautiful sunset in the Snohomish Valley!



The sun setting behind Mount Index.



That is snow at Lake Serene in August.
