My Everyday Life Week 46

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 46

We have had fewer storms and much less wind here which means there are more leaves on the trees. It’s been nice to savor them more this year. Last year one big storm wiped them all out and the autumn colors were short-lived.
