carrying on

After getting out all the cold-weather attire, packing away our summer gear and then scrambling because we got to enjoy some unbelievably warm October days, we're now back to the jeans, sweaters, jackets, hats and flannel sheets.

But Peach has decided to carry on as though not a thing has changed.

Apparently a chilly breeze and clumsy mittens aren't going to slow her down.

So, we've decided to join her.

Our fingers were freezing, but it was good fun to be outside today.

The leaves provided the perfect back drop for some good photo ops

Hubby got some summer things put away in the garage, which inspired Peach to do some "fixin'" of her own...

She loves to play with these tools that were Hubby's when he was a little guy.

I caught two people that I just happen to adore having a moment.

Topped it off with a ride in the swing and a trip down the drive way on the trike.

At this point, my fingers were screaming, "Warm house, please!"

When I mentioned that I was getting chilly, Peach said that she didn't want that for supper.  :)

Finally, we convinced Peach to head back inside for a family nap.

Warm bodies under blankets while the wind whips outside the window....it was one of those "just right" moments.  

Way up there on the cozy meter.

Winter's on its way, but we'll be carrying on...just doing our thing.

We are Minnesotans after all.  A little cold won't stop us.
