If you looked in my house right now, you wouldn’t find any fall decorations, you wouldn’t smell a pumpkin candle burning through the house, and you wouldn’t see pumpkins neatly lined up along my steps. Fall is here, and november is almost gone, and I never even bought a pumpkin.

This month has been hard, life has been hard, and has thrown us in every direction. Right when we think we have our head above the water, we get plunged under again. But soon, I know we will be able to come up for air, maybe tomorrow even. But for now I am going to keep holding my breath as long as I can.

This blog post isn’t about the hard days this month, instead I want to remember the good days. These photos are from a walk we took a couple of months ago. It was a beautiful sunny day, we had a beautiful view of the ocean and the city, and Mari picked yellow flowers to match her yellow dress. It was a good day.
