wish you were here

Dear Diary:

It is really beautiful here. The leaves are all changing, the air is crisp, the tights and skirts are cozy and the fire is good company. I took the kids out the other day for a walk and took this really funny picture of them. It speaks so much to who they are. My son the naturalist, always looking at the plants, trees, leaves (he calls them the fall lanterns), so calmed by nature, it's really powerful for him. My daughter, who also loves to be outside, who inside is turning into a bit of a fashionista. She had just taken her hat off while she was walking towards me, she looks like she belongs in a catalog, carefree and happy on an autumn day. I would never to that to her, but it's pretty funny to see them from the other side of the lens. We went home and had tea and cookies, I love, love, love this time of year. What is it like in your neck of the woods or beach I should say?
