Hello Fall!

The tree that drops these leaves in front of our house is my absolute favorite! So glad we didn’t miss it turning while we were away this weekend!

“At no other time (than autumn) does the earth let itself be inhaled in one smell, the ripe earth; in a smell that is in no way inferior to the smell of the sea, bitter where it borders on taste, and more honeysweet where you feel it touching the first sounds. Containing depth within itself, darkness, something of the grave almost.” -Rainer Maria Rilke #fall #fallcolors #fallleaves #autumn #autumnleaves #favoriteseason #washingtondc #downtowndc #dcmetro #tidalbasin #nature #nofilter #nature_sultans #nationalmonuments #virginia #vaoutdoors #leaves #pumpkins #igers #bestoftheday #nationalmall #exploreva

Is there such a thing as a perfect fall weekend? If so, I think I found it.

There’s nothing sweeter than a fall cabbage! The perfect fall accessory.
