How fitting that today, the official first day of Fall, is the first day I saw my breath on my morning walk – ahh!

Coupled with this week’s chillier temps is the undeniably beautiful rainbow of colors that tree leaves all over the city have turned into, seemingly overnight. Fluttering to the ground and audibly crunching underfoot. ‘Tis the season! Here are this week’s favorite finds from around the web.

    My highlight of the week was talking to an old friend! We have recently moved and I miss her terribly!

  5. McKenzie says:

    This week’s biggest highlight so far was having Monday off work. But this weekend, I get to have dinner with my best friend, have a date night with my husband, and run 6 miles (okay maybe that isn’t a highlight) in a marathon relay so I think there are going to be lots of high points. If the Chicago Bears beat the Packers, that’ll be even more reason to celebrate!
