My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
And change is inevitable.
So, it's the one thing I can always count on to be stable.
Autumn also represents a cozy feeling filled with comfort foods, such as stews, soups, bread, and dark red wine.
As many of you know, autumn is my favorite season, which is why I look forward to it and cherish every last drop.
Yet so far in Philadelphia, we haven't had much of a color shift in our foliage. Some of that has to do with living in a city, and some of it has to do with the fact that we haven't had much of an autumn temperature shift this year. It's been unusually warm. In fact, several days ago our temperature reached almost 80 degrees. I actually had to turn on my A/C to sleep at night because the humidity was so high. I am sooooooooo longing for a really good cold snap to not only have the opportunity to wear one of my jackets, but to also witness more drama in our foliage. If I weren't such a city-boy, I'd seriously consider moving to South Dakota where my longtime blogging friend, Mark, lives, because not only did they have a robust autumn, but they've already had snow. Can you believe that?
However in the meantime, here are some photographs I took of what our parks currently look like.
It's hard to tell from these photographs if we're moving from summer to autumn, or autumn to summer.
Please enjoy these little splashes of color...
Here is one of my favorite little creatures in the whole wide world.
Can you guess it?
That's right, a squirrel...
I spotted this little baby squirrel in the park several weeks ago. So of course, I had to feed him some peanuts. Isn't he adorable?...
I caught this mischievous squirrel trying to sneak into my backpack, attempting to look for more peanuts...
Independence Hall...
I saved this next photograph for last because I felt that it went well with a quote I found online, which coincides with my love of and faith in America at this particular time in our history.
Wishing you a beautiful Autumn weekend, everyone!
