And Suddenly It Was Autumn

After some rather dreary weather last week we had a stunning, sunny weekend here.  On Saturday I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and do some art journaling outside on our back porch.  When I walked out and caught a look at our beautiful backyard I was somewhat stunned to find myself surrounded by all the wonderful fall colors.  I'm not sure if I've just been living under a rock or haven't taken notice because of the less than ideal weather of last week, but the arrival of autumn seemed to happen overnight!

Autumn has always been my favorite season and it's one of the best things about living in Virginia.  It's so breathtakingly beautiful I just want to snuggle up in plaid and lay outside to take in the colors!

Anyone else so excited for fall that they feel like jumping up and down screaming like an overly excited kid in a candy store (or me in Dylan's candy bar)?
