just breathe....

ever get so caught up in the everyday of life that you forget to just breathe?
I started this blog with the intentions of being able to not only document & share my life through my lens but to be able to remember the things that in years from now I may forget.  Everyone always says life is too short, and it is. We all know it. I have a neighbor that I saw maybe 10 times in the 7 years I've been in my home. She was an elderly lady, had a son ( I kinda assumed) who came by once a week or so to mow the lawn, take out her trash etc. I found out a few weeks ago the lady passed on.... four months prior.
Crazy we didn't even know. What is more crazy to me is the amount of people that have come to her home in the past month. Where were all these people before? makes me sad for her.... this woman I never even knew.

With that being said, we decided to just take a family walk... enjoy the weather, the scenery and the gorgeous fall colors...

                                                 the weather was perfect, well for fall...

he's not crazy about the idea of winter either;)

we came across some containers, figured out people leave notes so we had to join in...

                     I found this tree so interesting, it was one at the base, but two as it reached up.

we had such a great time, we went back then next day...

to take a break, take it in...

                                                                                                and just breathe...
