October, PLEASE don't go!!

October has got to be one of my favorite months.  Now that TX is home (that was a little painful to type...but easier than it used to be), I'm a little sad to not have the same Octobers that I remember as a kid in NC.  Those cool, crisp days with amazing blue skies and orange, yellow, and brilliant red leaves filling up the landscape are to me like heaven on earth.  We've just now started to feel and see some of those cool days, minus the changing leaf color.  Oh well.

Thankfully, I can look back on all the fall-like October days with no regret b/c we Russell's got our Autumn on for every last one of them.

There was the awesome pumpkin exhibit at the Dallas Arboretum earlier this month.

There was also a glass exhibit by Chihuly, so an amazing surprise around most every corner.

 And, then a fun road trip to the German town, Walburg, TX, for yummy German food with friends and fun music in the biergarten.

And, a fun Friday playdate with Aidan and the boys.

I've been looking forward to the annual Master Gardener's Garden Fair since last year, and the weather was perfect again.

And, what October would be complete without....

And, to round off one fun October, we took a trip to the woods of Arkansas to meet up with Aunt Marjorie, Uncle Herb, cousin Vincent, and Granddaddy Russell.  (pictures to come)
Finally, we got to bask in the amazing colors of Autumn!  Yay!
