2 day pass

when winter comes to stay, it will be a bitter, cold, harsh reality in this neck of the woods,
for these fall weekends have felt more like the best of summer:
sunny skies, soft breezes and slighty sweaty temperatures.
we took full advantage of the sultry, summery tease by being outside whenever possible...as much as possible.
there was a hike around the audubon where a scarce few holdouts boasted ochre and crimson cover, but more trees stood barren and naked.
frogs and turtles have dug in deep for the season much to miss bit's dismay,
but the birds of prey still came out to play.
there was also a walk around the neighborhood that had us peeling off layers as we pounded the pavement.
friday we had an impromptu gathering with my brother and his wife that involved our favorite takeout tacos.
saturday night grandpa grilled ribs so good there were no leftovers and he had to dig into his freezer to serve us corn cut from the cob because sadly the farmers are all out until next year.
sunday i charred peppers from another garden for a mexican meatball stoup that tasted as good as it smelled.
jess dropped in just in time to enjoy my new creation and then be entertained by miss bit's rocking new dance moves...
we girls love us our captive audiences.
and we all love our two day pass.
