FALLing in love

Picture collage of many reasons I love FALL.

(Lots of new fallen leaves, twigs and acorns for Molly to explore.)
 (Scarecrow couple I found! Put these little guys in front of the house.)
(Molly gets to wear her AU bandanna on game days.)

USA!

Watching the footage of 9.11 yesterday and attending the anniversary mass at my church certainly caused a few tears.

As sad as it was to watch the devastation and horrendous acts of terrorism, it was even more moving to watch the heroes jump into action and fight for our country. Seeing people come together for strangers and in a moment of panic and confusion, choose protecting a stranger over themselves brings tears to my eyes and chills to my body.
