24°

Okay, after stepping out on the back steps in my barefeet to take these photos, I'll finally admit that it fall has arrived and I have to face the fact that it is getting colder. It was only 24° out there this morning!
When I came back in the door *T* noticed that I had nothing on my feet and started grumbling about me being outside barefooted. I guess he forgot that I've made trips to the mailbox with nothing on my feet when there was snow on the ground.

Is this what they call the harvest moon?

Here is my attempt to capture a photo of the full moon, for some reason the moon looks hexigon. But the interesting thing was that it was totally dark outside when I took this photo, but in the photo it looks like it is just getting dark.

When looking at last year's blog I can see that the leaves are so much farther ahead of where they were on this day last year. I see in the photos of last year that the leaves are just starting to change color and today the leaves are almost all gone already.

First frost of the season!!

We had frost on the windshields at 5:30 a.m.,when we went out to go to work. It wasn't much but it was definitely frost.

I had my last monthly doctors appointment today, from now on I have to go every two weeks.... oh joy! I also had my glucose test done today and they said if something is wrong they will call me tomorrow, if I don't here from them then everything is fine. I can't believe I'm in my third trimester already. Three more months to go, maybe.
