Fall has arrived

and I'm sad about it. I could have it be summer for another few months! Like, summer, summer, summer, summer....snow!
Actually, I can't really complain. Fall in Nelson is simply beautiful. Sunny and warm days, cool crisp evenings, and leaves turning all the beautiful October colours of golds, oranges, reds. Washington never gets real fall, just grey and wet.
My garden is as beautiful as ever and I just got my last and final hurrah as far as summer colour with this beautiful lily:

We also had Juniper's first birthday! How time flies! We had Josh, Margaret and Emily over and I baked Junie a delicious banana cake with banana icing which she loved. She LOVES food, have I mentioned that?


Margaret brought all the raspberries from her garden, and she gave us 7 raspberry plants as well! I can't wait to have our own raspberry patch next year. Our little plants already made some berries this year, tiny as the plants are.
And as I've said before, I will be posting videos soon. My connection is slow, so it's harder to get the movies uploaded.
