As I mentioned yesterday, I have a thing for sunsets:

And with sunsets like these, can you blame me? I love Iowa. 🙂

As I drove home from work last night, I found myself thinking about this week’s photo challenge and what I could possibly post that was even remotely dreamy.
I know exactly what I would post if I were, say, fifteen years younger (cue pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan Gosling, Nick Carter, and JC Chasez).

Mmm, dreamy. 🙂
I can’t believe October is a third over already. Pretty soon there’ll be snow on the ground, and I’m not sure I’m ready for that yet.

In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy the sunshine and colors while I can get them, because they’ll be gone before I know it.

Now that it’s fall, it’s beginning to get a bit colder. Friday night there was actually a frost warning, so we moved our impatiens inside the office for the weekend because it’s too pretty to let go of just yet. But with cooler temps both during the day and at night, we’ve decided to cave a bit earlier than normal and start up the furnace. Also on the list of ways we’re preparing for winter? Insulation.
Since Seymour doesn’t work Sundays, and since we had both Bubbles and Tadpole with us this weekend, we decided yesterday was the perfect day to insulate our attic.
Of course, we didn’t get started as early as we’d hoped to because…
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.

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?

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?

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. 🙂

This morning started off with a beautifully colored sky, even if it did look like it was going to rain:

A couple miles further down the road, it did start to rain, and it kept it up most of the morning. I’m glad the rain has stopped now, but I do wish it wasn’t so boringly gray outside.
