Mighty Oak in Progress

I have been in love with the weather these past couple of weeks. The fresh air, the changing colors and textures, it is ALL so inspiring! I have to admit (and I’m sure my hubby will not be very happy with the next statement) but I’m missing our abundance of acorns this year! The past two years our might oak trees have produced an overwhelming amount of acorns. The squirrels and chipmunks were fat and happy as the ground was literally covered with acorns. I suppose our oaks needed a much deserved break (as well as my husband from the tedious clean up!) so I am left to create my own acorns this year!

These lovely little acorns hold so much inspiration. What starts off as a beautiful little gem that can fit into the palm of your hand will one day grow to become a mighty oak tree! Let the inspiration of the tiny acorn remind you every day that we all can achieve greatness.

Join me for a walk!

We were blessed with a wonderful weekend. There is nothing like some family time outdoors appreciating all of nature’s beauty! God truly is the most amazing artist, combining colors, textures, and compositions of beauty beyond anyone’s imagination. I couldn’t stop snapping the camera on our walk, and have GOBS of lovely photos of our little one!

So… grab a cup of warm apple cider, a maple scone and join me on a little hike through some of our fall colors here in New England!
