Our neighborhood is starting to look a little Fall-y!! I've taken a few pictures on my walks with Guinness around our neighborhood, and I figure it'll be fun to compare them over the next two months or so to see all of the changes with the trees! Maybe that'll just be fun for me? Probably... Haha. The deer are also starting to get REALLY active in our neighborhood again, so we're seeing them a lot in our yard and when we're on walks. Earlier this week I also saw a HUGE groundhog by my neighbor's house, which was a new animal for our neighborhood! We usually see a lot of deer, squirrels, and foxes... But we hadn't seen a groundhog in our neighborhood before!
There's a deer!
This is just at the top of the hill about a week ago.
And here is the same spot this morning... so not much difference yet.
This is the corner of our property. That's our house to the right in the pic. Still green...
This is our house! It's not looking super Fall-y yet... But soon I think.
Here's another part of our neighborhood... That's Valley Forge through those trees! There's bits of yellow and orange starting to show up...
This tree is feeling Fall-y! This is at a neighbor's house.
Groundhog! It was about the size of a cat.
The last weekend in September we had a wedding to go to for our friends Juliff and Ashley, and that was fun! Kevin was one of the groomsmen, and our friend Michael (the opera singer) sang two songs during the ceremony, so it was a really fun day/night! The weather was pretty perfect that day too... The high temp was only about 60 degrees!
Kevin at the Juliff reception! And he's drinking the signature drink for the wedding which was a "Mint Juliff" (basically a Mint Julep). Isn't that a cute name?
There's Juliff towards the left of the pic (he's the tallest man, and he has glasses), Ashley is the beautiful bride, and I think most of you will recognize handsome Timmy (our friend who performed our wedding ceremony), and Michael is on the right edge of the picture with the bow tie.
And this was at the end of the night after the wedding reception. We were all hanging at the bar at the hotel, and then Kevin's friend Mike Gazzara requested a lesson on how to tie a bowtie, so Michael obliged! It was adorable, and went on for about 15 minutes.
I've made some progress on Fall Bucket List items!
I've decorated the inside of our house for Halloween (I'll take pictures as Halloween gets closer), but we won't do our few outdoor decorations until a little closer to Halloween so I'll do an update then on that. I also made some pumpkin goodness! I made a Pumpkin Cobbler, which was AMAZING. It was like the filling of a pumpkin pie, with cobbler-type biscuits on top. By now you guys know that my food pictures are terrible, so I will use the picture from the recipe:
I also made another soup (chicken and dumplings - a recipe from my Foods class in high school) and some parmesan biscuits!
Here's one of the parmesan biscuits! It was quite good, if I do say so myself. I kinda love making biscuits and breads.
Ugh, why do my food pictures always look terrible? This was delicious, I swear. I've been using this same recipe since high school, and it's awesome.
That's about all of the updates for now I think! I'll do another post soon.
