Weekends

 Halloween - Noah a Tiger and Tessa a Bear

 Gorgeous fall colors.

It was a perfect fall weekend.   

Oh, it was rich and complete in every way.   

We spent Saturday morning walking, meandering and exploring some local vineyards.   

I am not sure what it is about walking through vineyards, but they hold a true sense of wonder and magic.

The leaves were at their peak, the grapes had yet to be harvested and the colors that spread out before us were vibrant and welcome to our eyes.  

 The temperature was crisp, apples had just fallen from the trees, the children were delighted to be exploring outside and we wished the day could have lasted forever.  

 I adore days like this and I simply LOVE the fall. 

Bliss!

 My people.

 Lovely blend of colors...blue skies meet green grass.

 Magic I tell you...magic!

 I LOVE this series of shots of Noah.  He looks so engaged and so ready to just tell us all about the grapes and the wine they can make.  Maybe a future profession?!

 Nature was all around and perfect!

 Walled in church in Muttenz, which has become our second home.  Noah has forest school in the town twice a week.

 

To make the day that much sweeter, I went to a clothing swap (awesome idea!) with friends that afternoon, recycling clothes and enjoying others discards.   

That night Robert and I enjoyed the wine messe for the first time and felt truly filled with experiences.   

The day was full, long and perfect in every way.   

A weekend of relaxing in nature, enjoying all that was created by her and those hard working hands.  Ahh…thank you lovely weekends – thank you for firsts, for new experiences and my dear family.

Some weekends should be held on to tightly...this was one of them.
