hmmm. i could get used to this.

welcome beautiful fall days that i have maybe never seen in washington! we never get those indian summer days where the sun is allowed to warm the maple leaves to the perfect shade of auburn, tangerine and gold. i am cheating a bit when i add a picture not from this week's glorious autumn weather, but i like this one anyway from an excursion that my husband and i took to mt. hood last month. we had to walk down a dirt trail, over a golf course and through a stream to get here. well worth the trip. i would love to paint this picture someday.
