Fall has Fallen!!!

Happy Fall, everyone!  This is my FAVORITE time of the year, by a landslide!  There is something about the autumn light casting a glow that makes everything look more beautiful; not to mention, my mowing days are rapidly coming to an end for the year (YAHOO!!)!  This fall has an even greater significance, because, in a TWO short months our family will be back together, even if for just a couple of weeks!  There is no way this season could get any better!!

Emmy and I celebrated the first day under 80 degrees (heck, 100 degrees) with a special field trip!  We went to Cheekwood Botanical Gardens in Nashville to experience the outdoor art display of Chihuly blown glass.  I couldn't have dreamt up a more beautiful gallery where these intricate glass "creations" could be exhibited.  Emmy and I joined the masses of other camera-toting folk to take in all of the original pieces nestled into the gorgeous garden...

Yes, that is all glass...It was AMAZING!


A row boat filled with glass

Just like Christmas bulbs floating in the pond.


Emmy insisted that her sunblock be in the picture too.


Boycotting the camera. 


Doing anything to not look at the camera...


One of our favorites!

Little glass glaciers in the pond

The colors were stunningly beautiful, especially under the fall sun (man, I love this season!)
