Blessed

Life is full of blessings. How high can you count today?

Jackson finds joy in the small things.

Like this brightly colored ball.

Or how about these wonderfully red fallen leaves?

They are even shinier if you get them wet!

Blessed.

Samuel Thompson: Forest Explorer

Follow me into this exciting uncharted territory.

Uncharted but quite lovely.

Hey, wait. I think this is our yard.

Nature's sandbox is Samuel's sketch book.

Autumn may be the best time of the year.

Although summer, winter, and spring are a close second!

Beauty Back Home

With our travels out to the western part of the state, we almost forgot just how beautiful

it was right here in central Virginia and Hanover county. Enjoy!

Mallards and the Blue Ridge

Autumn in Virginia is highly picturesque.

Migrating mallards mingle.

Tall trees tower.

Riverside trails lead into a foggy dreamscape.

The trip home was a vibrant show of natural colors.

Back home, our burning bush is starting to catch fire!

Soon it will give way to winter, but for now...
