Happy Tuesday, friends! Sorry if you happened to click on any bad links yesterday, I made a little mistake trying to publish my post! But it is fixed now. Since we’re leaving for our trip on Wednesday, I’ve let myself get a tad stressed. I’m trying to cross everything off the list and instead I just feel like I’m running around in circles not crossing anything off the list. Ever had that experience? Ah, stress, the unyielding beast. Lately I’ve been quick to give in to frustration, but I’m working on choosing my attitude and a better state of mind. Time to let go of stress and realize that life goes on. :) We’re going on a trip for our anniversary in a couple days. Is it clear that I need a vacation? ;)
But back to the colors of Fall. So this past weekend I got to do some driving in the country, to go to an apple orchard and flea market. Fall has reached perfection here in Wisconsin and the colors are so beautiful. I couldn’t take my eyes off of all of the colors while I was driving! I may have even snapped the first photo while driving (sorry, Mom!). It’s funny how every year I seem to forget how beautiful and inspiring Fall is in the Midwest. Here are a few photos from the weekend…
Walking around after the flea market…
The apple orchard was charming…
They have a working electric train that my cousin just loved…
And how cute is that picture of my Grandpa at the old fashioned ice cream parlor? It makes me so happy. :)
I hope you’re enjoying Fall, too. I really think it might be the most wonderful time of the year!
xoxo

No need to apologize! This post is gorgeous. We aren’t quite seeing fall like that yet here in Portland, Oregon. Soon! Have so much fun on your trip & just remember to breathe until then. xo

LOVE these fall colors–especially since it’s supposed to reach the mid-80s today in SF!

I love J. Lauber’s! So cute. Where did you go for apple picking? I’ve been wanting to do that myself.

Love that you’ve been there, too! We went to Elegant Farmer right near there in Mukwonago…but honestly I wouldn’t recommend it, especially if you’re going on a Saturday. It was cute but so crowded!! I wonder if Cedarburg or somewhere north might have a good one?

I just celebrated my anniversary too by taking a little weekend getaway to see some fall colors. Sadly here in Chicago, my neighborhood trees aren’t the right kind to turn all pretty yellows and reds. Have fun in California!
