Wednesday's.whimsy : Look.up!
happy wednesday! you didn't think i would miss two weeks in a row did you???! it is funny how every year i know how busy this time of year gets & yet, every year it amazes me as if it is the first time. silly, silly me. 
however, i am going to try my darndest to keep up with my regularly programmed "wednesday's whimsy" ! don't give up on me yet!!! there are literally SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many things i want to "wednesday's whimsy" about (and no, i am not exaggerating in the least bit with the 'O's') however, my time right now will only permit so much. :I
so today, my friends, i ask you to do one simple thing for me the next time you venture outside...
look up. yes, simply look up. "why?" you may ask?
well, the other morning i was taking Jones out for a bit of fresh air & a little walk. the smell was so crisp, it felt only natural to take that first step and
.stop.
.pause.
.& breathe in deep.
as i was doing so, my eyes scoped panoramicly (yes, that is officially my word) around my neighborhood & then i did it.
i looked up.
and, i am not kidding you,,, it was as if i was a child discovering nature for the first time all over again. i must of stood there like that for a good ten minutes and i can only guess what my neighbors were thinking -- but... i didn't care. it was a moment... a moment that we can all experience & share, and i would love for you to do so today.
this moment is free & around you everywhere. it is also fading quickly as winter is truly at its heals. so before it is too late & you hear yourself saying "i wish i had taken more time to enjoy fall"... i am telling you, even if you don't have the time (cause i sure know i don't!), all you have to do is look up for a good minute & you will feel something all your own that will make your heart smile inside out.
as i was looking up, my mind was clicking away, snapping pictures of it all. so of course, i had to document it literally as well...
and this is what i saw :
