What's Up the Street For Next Week?

Oh What A WEEK!!! Anybody else enjoy those interviews? And what a great visit from Susan Meissner on Saturday. If you didn’t get a chance to read her post, check it out here.

Let’s start off this new week in COLOR!! That’s right – Autumn. As the world pulls on its autumn cloak, here are some pictures I took from our family hike last weekend. The trees are just starting to change and the sky is an amazing ‘blue’ color. An autumn blue.

Anybody guessed that this is my favorite time of year! What’s yours? Answer that question and leave your email in the comments section and we’ll place your name in the drawing for Nancy Moser’s fantastic Victorian novel, Masquerade.
