Fallin in Love~with Minnesota~all over again!

Minnesota Fall~Winter 2012



watching the change from summer to fall...more summer than fall.

  

Mississippi and Me

What an incredible time of the year to be in Minnesota. The warm summer stretched all the way into September. Tomatoes ripe on the vine call my name and apples hang heavily on the tree, branches threatening to crack under all that weight. Suddenly, overnight, the leaves are changing and old-man-frost is knocking on our doors. The flowerbeds are covered with bedsheets, not sure if they are spooks preparing for Halloween or if people are simply trying to savor the beauty of the summer under there.
