I had told Blaze that for the first day of Fall we would take a nature walk to look for signs of the changing season, but it rained on the first day of Fall and again on the second day. So, yesterday, we finally got to spend some time outdoors.
First we went out to the garden for a while. All traces of the bamboo house have been completely removed now and I started cleaning out all the dead summer plants. Then, after going home and drinking a lot of lemonade, we went for a walk around the lake.

The browning of the water grass is really the most noticeable sign that the seasons are changing.
This little guy just sat there in the water and let me take his picture.

We were able to find a few leaves that were changing colors
We sat in a clearing and made this crown of leaves and Blaze pretended to build a campfire.
Here I am wearing the crown while Blaze took my picture

We took a tiny side-path we had never noticed before and found all these lovely wildflowers.

We returned home just as sunset was beginning. There were a few dark clouds that made it look like it might rain again, but that just increased the number of colors in the sky. Watching colorful clouds was the perfect ending for our little outing.
We continued our Fall activities once we got in the apartment, by learning some new Fall themed songs from Sing a Song of Seasons
and then reading The Story of the Root Children as a bedtime story.
