This afternoon, I went for a walk in the woods to take pictures of my beautiful surroundings.The leaves are vibrant colors of yellow and red...seriously gorgeous. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day:
After I picked up the kids from school, Faustine made me a leaf bouquet. Isn't it adorable!?!
The only thing that's been better in the US, in regards to Fall, was Halloween! I mean, I had fun... don't get me wrong, but no one here celebrates! My friends and I met up to get ready together. We pumped ourselves up for a good time. Seeing as my costume budget is non-existent, I put together a "hippy" outfit from my everyday clothes. It wasn't hard... I lived in Duluth, MN for two years! I drew a peace sign on my face, and voila! Costume complete! As my friends and I walked through the city, we received some pretty interesting stares. We thought things would be better in Paris.... nope. We were pretty much the only people dressed up. Talk about sticking out like a sore thumb. We took the train to an english speaking pub in Paris. I had some pretty great conversations with some of the locals. All was well until the guy I was speaking with asked me, "Why do you have a Mercedes sign on your face?" Are you kidding me!?! I totally painted a Mercedes-Benz sign on my face instead of a peace sign. In my defense, I live in a rich town, filled with wealthy people who drive expensive cars. I see that sign 30 times a day. Must have been on the mind...Oh well... :)
To end this fabulous post, you must listen to this recording of Edith Piaf singing "Autumn Leaves." Enjoy!
