We Heart Fall

Saturday we had a lovely girls' day ushering in the autumn season. We lingered over breakfast at our favorite spot in Ballard (Wild Mountain Cafe), we browsed Antika in Greenwood & Momma picked out her birthday present, we sipped tea & spent over an hour playing with pumpkins at Swanson's Nursery, & then bought pretty gourds & yummy food at the Ballard Market.
At Swanson's, it's $25 for as many pumpkins you can fit into a Radio Flyer wagon. We piled it high & had one additional large pumpkin that we thought would need to be purchased separately, but as we stood in line, a young workman came over & with a smile balanced the final pumpkin on the top of the pile & cheerfully brought it to the attention of the cashier.
My front step makes me happy. :)
Three years ago I brought home two tiny kittens in October.
Here they are now.
Happy Fall to All!
