Funny Faces & Yummy Salads

So today is one of those random posts that contains the delightful little happenings of life. With the changing seasons, I finally dug up my lovely patio garden this past weekend.


It definitely served me well and made my Spring and Summer days filled with beautiful blooms and heavenly fragrances...but alas, the days are much cooler and the leaves are at their peek of golds, reds, and ambers. Today was one of those slightly warmer November days, so I decided to take the dog for a walk and soak up some of the Autumnal color palate.









I just can't get enough of these wonderful colors. I find myself completely distracted while driving down the road because I get lost in the beautiful colors that are scattered across Central Indiana.

Now this next picture has quite the story to it. While walking our proud pup Jalen, I could tell that he wanted to get back home, but I was determined to take a picture of him on our walk. Well...when I snapped the picture, he just so happened to blink his eyes in the bright sun at the exact moment of the shot. Thus I got this photo...

How funny is this? I think it looks like he's closing his eyes in protest to the photo. It's as if he's saying, "If I close my eyes, she won't know I'm here and we'll have to go back home." It is definitely Jalen in his finest moment!

After our walk, I was quite famished, so my Hubby made a yummy salad that was quite a refreshing treat for such a fine day.


Doesn't it just look scrumptious! Mmm...Mmmm.

Well I hope that your day is filled with the beauties of this Autumn day and that something out there just makes you smile. Oh...and one last note...I'm planning on having a Christmas Give-away in the next couple of weeks, so be on the look-out for your chance to win some trimmings for your tree!
