Fall Is Coming…

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: Fall, Wordless Wednesday

Quick little prayer request before we get to this weeks wordless wednesday. Carsyn goes in wednesday morning at 8am for botox injections in his hamstrings. He will be put under conscious sedation for these, so he won’t feel them and/or remember them. I am a nervous wreck. IF these work they will start working in 3-14 days and should loosen his hamstrings up for 4-6 months. Praying they work and if they do we will do other muscles too. So please pray for him and me as it will be difficult to watch. Thank you all for your continued support!

I can not believe that fall is coming already. I am starting to find new colors in the leaves of the trees around here. I took all of the photos below with the Olympus E-PL3 that Olympus sent me to try out. I am seriously in love with this camera and the photos. Most of these are SOOC or have little editing.

Speaking of fall. Do you follow me on instagram? If you are on instagram use #fallbucketlist as you complete the list. I can not wait to see what you are up to this fall. It is my favorite season!

You can click the photo to download the list.

    Ohh so many things about this post...First of all I will be thinking of you guys tomorrow. I hope everything goes very smoothly and the procedure is over in no time. I also hope for great results! I can't even believe the leaves are already turning colors and falling to the ground. I was in denial last week but this post tells me I can't deny it any longer. Third I can't even WAIT to do your fall bucket list! Fall is my favorite season hands down!!!

    Fall can be a lovely time of year. But, I hate to see it come because it means that winter is right behind. I would have no problem living without winters.
  23. Meagan says

    August 28, 2012 at 10:55 pm

    I'll be praying for y'all tomorrow morning! I so hope it helps sweet Carsyn! And I can't believe your leaves are turning already! Ugh. This is the hardest thing about fall for me - it's so slow to get here!
  24. Amy @ Cheeky Cocoa Beans says

    August 28, 2012 at 10:31 pm

    Lovely! I saw some leaves changing colors today, and it gave me hope that the summer was going to come to an end. :) Now if we can have a real autumn, that would be awesome!
  25. Austin-Lee says

    Well I am certainly with you on a number of those items on your bucket list. I'll be having s'mores on the beach this weekend in fact! Just heard the Starbucks pumpkin latte will be debuting this season in Leavenworth, WA too if you get desperate. I'm just bummed that we will miss most of the halloween/harvest events around Seattle. I'm not that sad though. We will be in Europe for the month instead :-)
  28. jenni from the blog says

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
