We took a spontaneous trip up North for an autumn experience.
Colorful leaves 
make for good raking.
Grandmonkeys preparing homemade applesauce
A glimpse of the collapsed bridge over the mighty Missus
New bridge gleaming
Northward...
A most Superior lake
Lovely bridge
Big ships
Skippin' rocks
Toastin' mallows.
Site of the proposal...taken on our 13th anniversary
Saw the luminous colors of red, yellow, and orange leaves still on their hosts...
Smelled the pine trees, wood fires, and dried leaves...
Heard the crunch of fallen leaves under our feet...
Felt the cold air...and even the large billowy snowflakes gently falling...
Tasted s'mores on the shores of Lake Superior, warmed up with hot chocolate...
and fortified our stash of wild rice, maple syrup, cheese curds, apples.
Best of all...
a renewal of our souls.

I love this post!
It was SOOOO great to see you!! I am glad you got a chance to experience another "true" fall. Love the pictures of Duluth- I think I have a gazillion pictures of us standing in the exact same place this summer skipping rocks- ha!
That's the way Autumn should be experienced!
Great pics, Laura! I always love to see the expressions on your children's faces. They are so enthusiastic making homemade applesauce! Now I want to hear the story of your proposal. Have you blogged about that before I became a loyal reader?
