I love autumn. Especially the time between first frost (which means the end of allergies for me) and Thanksgiving (which usually means the first freeze here in Middle Tennessee). We were blessed with a weekend full of perfect fall family fun.
We spent Saturday enjoying the blue sky and wide open space of a local park that was surprisingly empty. Then, we stopped by a fall festival in the evening where our friends were playing music. The best part was when a hot air balloon made an unplanned landing on the church's land:
Sunday we visited a church here in Franklin. They invited us to their fall festival that evening which was held on a farm belonging to one of the church members. Rachel had a lot of firsts there. First hayride, first horse-feeding,
first roping lesson, and the first time she put rabbit ears on her Daddy
for a photo.
On the ride home we missed our turn and had to turn around by a shallow lake on Carter's Creek Pike near Coleman Road (info for Franklin folks) and spotted a bald eagle. I've never seen one in Franklin before. We were thrilled! It is far away, and I only had my iPhone camera to rely on, but here is the picture:







What a lovely weekend! My favorite kind, too. It was really nice seeing you guys on Saturday. It looks like Rachel had a fun time at the farm...perhaps was a little more adventurous than she was the night before:)

ReplyDeleteHi! I saw your Nashville collage. I work at North Highland in Brentwood, and we are looking for a piece of art that we can put on canvas and have displayed in our office. I and the Vice President would love to use your collage for our office. Can you call me at 615-370-2790 and we can discuss if you're interested and compensation? Thanks! -Stephanie
