I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

Autumnal

We went to the Berkshires. Tim was so delighted when we arrived at Old Orchard Hill.
We strolled through the apple trees,


Peaked at some leaves,

And drank fresh hot cider with donuts. Tim found his smile.

We stayed at a thousand-year old hotel. I'm going to marry this bathtub if Tim ever leaves me.


Tim enjoyed some very wet kisses from Squiggles.

Squiggles loves being naked. Yes, I let her suck on dirty socks.


Then we went to October Mountain.

Sadly, this is the best shot I could get of the three of us.

Tim and Squiggles helped me find pretty rocks for my collection.


Success!


Then we met friends at a bluegrass festival.


Crap. This picture is way out of order. Oh well... I'm pretty much a hippie so I don't care. Friday Tim made fennel-mustard pork for some friends from school. It was divine, as usual.

Not sure if there's anything much prettier in the world than Autum on the East coast? What a perfect October activity. Love the photos.

I'll marry the bathtub if you don't.

Wow! What a gorgeous trip! I wish I could've been there with you! Oh, and I LOVE that first picture of Squiggles and Tim!

Love the "October Mountain" shot. I didn't know you had a rock collection. How big is it?

Also, I am so jealous of those girls in the last photo!

I can't take my eyes off the lovely floral prints (wall and chair) in your thousand year old hotel. They're fantastic. Who needs to leaf peep when you've got a room like that? But the rest is lovely, too. I like Tim's eye in your family picture.

I enjoyed every picture you posted. Each told its story. If you have too many rocks, you may mail me the extras! What a beautiful family. Send me one of Squiggle's gooey kisses along with a rock!

Great pictures - I love them all! Looks like you had a blast!

"Tim was so delighted when we arrived at Old Orchard Hill."

When I read that and see the picture just under it; do I hint a bit of *(enter sarcasm here)*? Common Tim - SMILE WITH TEETH! :) I love Squiggles tongue-smile too - she's adorable!
