It was a beautiful day today. It was a beautiful day yesterday, too, and this was the view from my window last night when I got home from work:
I love Iowa. It’s such a beautiful place to live. 🙂

Yesterday started off with a delightful fog before giving way to heavy showers in the afternoon. Today is wonderfully chilly (wonderful weather for eating chili) and windy.
I guess it’s safe to say that Summer is well and truly gone and Fall is here at last.

Photo Friday: Seasons change
Summer is a thing of the past, that’s for sure. Though fall officially started nearly two weeks ago, it hasn’t yet felt truly fall-like outside.
That all changed this morning, when I awoke to wind gusts that were approaching 40 mph. I know the saying is all about March coming in like a lion, but I think it’s true of October, too, especially today.
Anyway, the green fields of corn have been slowly turning to gold of late, and I must admit, the sight always quickens my blood. I love fall. 🙂
I hope October’s been treating you right so far! I can’t wait to see what the rest of the month will bring. In the meantime, don’t forget to stop by Charnele’s blog to read all about the seasons (or lack thereof) in Jamaica!
What’s your favorite season?

Miss Tadpole brought home her home ec. project tonight:
She was pretty excited.
I don’t blame her – it turned out very well. It looks even sharper in person. 🙂

One of the things we did over the weekend to sort of celebrate our anniversary involved attending a football game at the University of Northern Iowa. It was my first time tailgating, and I had a lot of fun (despite the swarms of little black bugs).
Nothing says fun like a game of catch with the old man.
And the Panthers? They stomped the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles 50-7. Those seven points were scored late in the third quarter against the Panthers’ third string. It was a blowout.

This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is all about night photography, which I dearly love but don’t do enough of. I’ve seen some pretty amazing silhouettes so far, and while I love them, this is one of my favorite nighttime shots:
I didn’t think my phone would capture the fireworks very well, but I was pleasantly surprised. This came out much better than I could have possibly hoped for. 🙂

I didn’t even know I took this picture:
Apparently I’m an accidental photographer instead of an accidental texter. I kind of like it, though. My phone’s screen is hard to see in bright sunshine, and I thought I had it locked, but evidently not.
Have you ever taken an accidental photo?

Last week, the Daily Post ran a photo challenge about endurance. This is what endurance means to me:
There are a lot of century farms in Iowa, farms that have been owned by one family for a hundred years or more, including mine. They have a recognition ceremony at the state fair every year, and it’s a really neat thing to be a part of.

Since apparently my cloudy commute pictures are depressing some folks, here’s one from the other morning, when the sun was shining in one corner of the sky:
I love how the light saturates the field with color, making the crops pop against the clouds darkening the distant sky. 🙂

Photo Friday: Favorites
Today is a pretty special day, so I have a pretty special picture to share:
Five years ago, I married my best friend, and this is one of my favorite pictures from that day. It’s hard to believe it’s been five years – we’ve packed so much into so short a time, but I wouldn’t trade a minute of it. We’ve moved twice, added two beautiful boys to our family, and embarked on another remodeling adventure. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next five years, and the five after that, and the five after that…
Don’t forget to stop by Charnele’s blog and check out some of her favorite things! What are some of your favorites?
