The leaves still change...

So it seems that the leaves still change in Pennsylvania; which is a wonderful thing to see! The past few days have been perfect fall days-warm with a breeze and a blue cloudless sky. These days really remind me of Virginia and make me feel a little closer to home, because on days when the newly colorful trees blend into that perfectly crayon-blue sky I can imagine sitting on my moms front porch and looking at the exact same scene. Although I have to admit that there is no better view from the front porch swing.

It is truly wonderful to be able to enjoy those last few beautiful days of fall before the cold starts to haunt you, especially when you have a sweet husband who will walk with you. We newly discovered an awesome walking trail behind our apartment that has incredible scenery to enjoy along the way--except a creepo bridge that we have to walk underneath. Our favorite part is a huge beautifully manicured horse farm that stretches out over rolling hills. The owners have a gorgeous old farm house on the property and they even placed a small covered picnic table at the edge of the trail for taking a little break from exercising to enjoy the view. That incredible view includes many many many Arabian horses grazing and running, it truly is a breathtaking sight.

Being able to enjoy the outdoors during this time of year has made missing the country a little less hard. I get caught up in the beauty of the season and then get snapped back into reality by a loud car horn...why must everyone be in such a hurry?
