Great news

but we'll get to that later.  My pictures are out of order. --I feel like I post so seldom that I have to relearn things quite often.  I know I could fix this, but I'm not going to. 

Did I mention that I LOVE the fall.   I think I did in that last post.  But I'll say it again.  "I LOVE FALL!!"

So much has happened this month I'll just list what we did and then you can browse the pictures at your leisure.

First, my sister Jane and niece Kate came for a fun visit.

We did a lot together, including a hike to Turkey Point Light house (pictured)

and a trip on the metro (giggle) to DC to the National History of Natural Sciences Museum (not pictured)

There, we saw the Hope Diamond among other gems and jewels. {I thought it would be bigger :| }

Also, Kate held a millipede! (wish I had a picture)

It was so fun to have them!  We missed them as soon as they were gone.

On Columbus Day we went on a hike in Susquehanna State Park

Grandma Griffiths came for a visit next

And here's the great news I know you've been waiting for:  While she was here

 WE CAUGHT THE GROUNDHOG!!!

Randy had a stare down with him.

I learned how to mow the lawn on the riding mower! (hilarious, but that's another story.--I'll just say that it wasn't built for someone 5' tall.)

We brought Grandma with us to a few soccer games and story time at the library, then to top off our week, we went to Milburn Orchards and had a great time petting and feeding the animals, playing in the sandbox and on the playground.  We went on a fun hayride, had lunch and picked out pumpkins.  

Lucy warmed right up and figured out how to say gramma by the end of her stay.

Again, we missed her as soon as she left.

Next comes Halloween --even though it's been here for a week already. We've been dressed up for different things this week no less than 3 times.

It's been a good month!  Can't wait for what is in store next month!!

I love Autumn.
