A Step out of Reality

On Tuesday, my sister-Jackie, invited me to go up the canyon with her and her kids to look at fall leaves.  They don't get to enjoy fall because they live in Arizona. Truthfully, I haven't even noticed if the leaves are changing here.  Usually- fall is one of my favorite seasons with all vibrant colors of the leaves, the mild chill in the air, the warm sweaters and stylish boots that come out of the closet, the sweet smells of the holidays, pumpkins everywhere, and all the pumpkin treats, cookies, and cakes!  As I talked to Jackie on the phone and looked around at my house, knowing all the things that needed to be done, I mentally threw my "To Do" list in the garbage and decided to go.  It has honestly been since August 13th that I have done something for myself and my kids to get out and enjoy life.  We took a break- a step out of reality- and went up Bear Canyon to see some fall leaves.  It felt so good to be out and enjoy the nature and some fresh air.  My girls had a blast (my boys were in school).
