Day 145

Pretty little flowers growing out by the parking lot. Looks sort of springy, and not very autumnish, but it's still pretty! ~Angel

Day 144

The super huge, super creepy spider that lives by our mailboxes. I think I should ask the maintenance guys to get rid of it, because it's really big, quite possibly poisonous (ok, maybe not), and definitely doesn't need to be anywhere near my apartment!! ~Angel

The beautiful flowers on our front porch. We have had them for a while and they're just so pretty!! We going to the Big E tomorrow and we will (hopefully) get a picture!! ~Mercy and Grace

Day 143

Thought the bark on this tree was kind of cool, so I decided to take a picture of it. :) ~Angel

sorry we haven't posted in a REALLY long time. It's just we were busy first and then our internet was down and then we just installed Google chrome! Well, here is our front door and our nice fall wreath, and it seems so much like fall here and we have apples from Lymans Orchard! We sent some apples and cider doughnuts to Abbie and Angel! (and the boys too!) We miss you guys! ~Mercy and Grace

Day 142

Was at a picnic today, and loved the flag waving among the trees. ~Angel

View of downtown. The Marine layer makes it all look a little gloomy, but it usually clears up later in the day. :) ~Angel

Day 140

My cute little pumpkins I put out on the table. Makes it feel a little more like a "real" fall, rather than a So. CA fall! :) ~Angel

Day 139

The pretty evening scene. :) ~Angel

A bracelet I ordered from Etsy arrived today (and I was super excited, I've been waiting several weeks to get it!!) but this was the super cute packaging I found when I opened up the envelope. :) ~Angel

Day 136

Had this wine at our Bible Study one night, but no one could remember who had brought it, so we didn't know what store it came from. It was super yummy though, so I was very excited to find it at my local grocery store for just $5! Nice to have a little glass while I watch TV at night. :) ~Angel

My breakfast Mom got from Dunkin Doughnuts!
-Grace
