Christmas Decor

My friend, Liz, created this beautiful arrangement for my family! Her work is always top-notch, and you can check out more of her designs at: Northern Digs Design & Maintenance ! We also got our first measurable snowfall today, so the boys have been sledding outside. I'm thankful for snow and a warm, cozy house. 🏡🎄⛄

Hidden Falls - Frozen!

Hidden Falls is beautiful in any season! I'm glad we've been able to get out and do some walking at our local park.🤎🤍🤎

Treehouse

My boys and their neighbor friend, John, have been making good progress on the treehouse! 🛠️

Fall is Best

Here are some pretty fall pics from about a month ago. :-)

Anniversary in Autumn

Eric & I are celebrating our anniversary on this blustery winds-day. 😁

The Faithful Farmer

I was walking our trails this evening, and caught the faithful farmer going about his business.

Fall Favorites

The weather is finally right for enjoying some of our favorite things...

Last of the Harvest

Today is a good day to bring in the last of the harvest!

St. Croix Campground

We couldn't pass up the excellent weather, so we went on an impromptu trip to a campground in the St. Croix River Valley. It's in our "family" of campgrounds included in our membership with MOR, and it was fantastic! The weather was beautiful the first couple of days, but the last day was rainy and chilly. The cabin was cozy!

Autumn in Minnesota

I love autumn in Minnesota! We took these pics on one of our daily walks in Big Woods State Park.

More Renaissance Pictures

Here are more pictures from our fun day!

Renaissance Festival

We donned our costumes, and spent a lovely October day pretending we were living in a medieval village. We wish we could have spent the entire season here!
