fall appreciation

This weekend was the perfect fall weekend... I feel like we're about a month off schedule though as far as weather goes. Usually by my birthday weekend, the leaves are in FULL color and then are promptly dropped to the ground. But this year, they seem to have hung onto their trees for quite a while. And the colors aren't as spectacular as I have seen past years. In spite of all that, I have been feeling the need to do exciting fall activities like it's nobody's business. I don't know what it is, because most of the year, I say that I really don't like the fall, but when it's actually here, I really do enjoy it. Here are some pictures of my idea of fall appreciation.

I rolled down a hill in the leaves :)
