Fall Foliage @ Its Finest

at some point in your life....

everyone should experience an east coast fall foliage at least once.

it is the most amazing thing you have ever seen, and it is in full bloom as we speak. when they say "foliage" they are not joking. i'm talking THICK trees, everywhere, BIG ones, and of every color. i could just drive around for hours soaking up the breathtaking scenery. {and when i say breathtaking... it really is. every time i see a really vibrant tree, uhhh ohhh wow!

[i breath in so fast, i sometimes choke.] }

Fall is definitely the east coasts season,  it trumps all other seasons and places. 

{well maybe, except for a st. george october sky...maybe}

really what beats  70 degrees, amazing colors, and the crisp smell of autumn..... 

Love is in the air.

Dirty Little Bastard

We have a "little bastard" who lives inside our house
and this "little bastard" is a tiny little mouse
I told this little mouse that it didnt have to die
just as long as he didn't live in my kitchen,
that instead he lived outside.

Night after night that traps would go SNAP!
but no mouse in sight
so we have here a "smart little bastard" who is putting up quite the fight
so we got smart and put traps all around.....
and we finally GOT EM!! now he lives in the ground.

We pray that he was the only one....
cause if I see another one, no more traps
I'm just grabbing the gun!!!

{No matter what life gives us, or what might come our way ... in the long run, it makes life a lot easier to "just be happy" than just be sad or mad or frustrated or anxiety ridden, or lonely. So as bad as it may feel or be.... Just be Happy!!}
