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?

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?

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.

The clouds on my drive home lately have been just gorgeous:
I love my commute. 🙂

Since Bubbles was gone last weekend, we let him have a few friends over last night to help him celebrate his birthday. They had a blast playing football in the yard, staying up late watching movies, and generally eating us out of house and home.
“Let’s tell ghost stories!”
But I have to admit I felt a little bad for Cricket. He adores his big brother, and he wants nothing more than to hang out with the big boys. But Bubbles needs time away from being the big brother now and then, and there’s no explaining that to a four-year-old.
Something tells me this is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

Today started off dark and gloomy. But by noon, the clouds had parted.
Of course now the weather seems to think we’re back in July, because it was 80° all day. Still, it was a beautiful afternoon. 🙂

Suddenly they all died. The end.
