Fall is my favorite time of the year

Fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love the more comfortable weather, having a nice fire in the backyard, roasting marshmallows and just relaxing.  I also love all the fabulous colors that surround all of us in the trees.  Here in the Midwest these fabulous colors are everywhere. In the town I live in we are called the Maple City and that's because of the abundance of Maple trees that we have around here. There are not to many streets that you drive down that don't have trees lining them.  You drive under the gorgeous canopy's everywhere here.

I also love to decorate for fall.  I don't put out as much as I used to due to having my 2 1/2yr old great granddaughter living here with me. She has a tendency to TOUCH everything and thinks everything is fair game and hers.  I also am expecting a new grandson beginning of the year, so for the next couple years I will forgo decorating as much as I used to and settle for putting things up on shelves out of reach of little ones.

I took a few pictures the other day of some of the beauty around me.  I still want to take a few more but the weather hasn't been cooperating to get out and enjoy.  It is suppose to be nice and sunny beginning of next week so hopefully I will be able to get out and take more pics and enjoy the scenery.

The first picture on here is what I see while sitting in my living room out my front window.  The next one is of this round barn that is across the street from my church.  Next is one of the canopy lined streets I was driving down and the last one is of the chest my mom decorated for me for my birthday.  I hope you enjoy the little slice of fall heaven here in Northwest Indiana.

Enjoy the beauty all around you and take time to stop and look around and actually see it.
