My Helpful Blog Advisor and Remnants of Fall

I don't have nosy neighbors, but besides being one of my best friends, my next door neighbor is occasionally what I will call My Helpful Blog Advisor. :) I got a phone call from her a couple days ago just to let me know that out her kitchen window was a blog-worthy view that I really should go out and get a picture of. So here I am following her advice. (You're awesome, Steph! :)

I will call this picture "Snow?....I'm not done with my leaves!"

Yes, I did go out this weekend and rake the rest of our frozen leaves into the dormant vegetable garden. With plans to finish up the leaves in front, I left my rake leaning out against the deck. I never did get to the front yard, so my rake stood through a fairly hefty night of snow. By the time I took this picture, the snow had melted some...but the inspiration was still there.

Winter has arrived, but here are a few of my favorites scenes from fall...enjoy!
