The leaves are really starting to change in my section of eastern section of the Denver Metropolitan area of Colorado that we live in. I thought I would share a couple photos from my recent daily walks and a hike we went on at Castlewood Canyon State Park.
And of course I had to take a Black & White photo of the Autumn foliage scene during my daily walk:
Looks mysterious in B&W!
We’ve had some lovely Autumn evenings enjoying the cooler weather. Here is a photo from last week when John and I were hanging out at our friends’ home on their patio visiting with one of their dogs. We still miss our Mike the Miniature Schnauzer terribly but we appreciate our friends sharing their dogs with us!
I’ve shared many of the photos below already on Instagram but I thought I would pull them together and share a quick post about Autumn, my favorite season.
Fall Scenery
Who doesn’t love the colors of Autumn and the changing leaves?
Not only the color of the leaves but the sounds of the leaves? Usually when I’m on a walk I have my earphones in and I am listening to an audiobook, a podcast or music. Yesterday I went on a little afternoon walk and actually just listened to the trees – their dry autumn leaves rustling in the wind. It was sort of glorious.
In addition to the trees/leaves, we’ve seen some beautiful skies at sunset – my partner John captured these photos.
Fall Cooking
The other day it dropped to 48 degrees F outside so was it’s cold enough for homemade chicken noodle soup with handmade noodles!
On Instagram I shared these two images below, implying I made the soup…
But I was only adding extra noodles to the soup – actually my partner John made the soup and the noodles.
But I did make an apple pie – a perfect Autumn desert!
I was super tasty and we had it for desert after our soup and garlic bread for supper.
Now it’s time to pull out the stew recipes as well as the soups I like to make recipes. Cooler weather means lots of cooking (and maybe some more baking).
Postscript
Oh I will close this post with what Mike the Miniature Schnauzer is up to – providing emotional support for more home remodelingprojects (see his guest post Guest Blog Post: A Whole Lot of Remodeling Going On) by going on trips to home improvement stores.
Here is his photo from the other day when he went to pick up more supplies and it looks like he’s trying to give the humans some directions…
