Autumn Baby

Yesterday was another gorgeous day so we took some pictures of Nora outside our flat. Being Halloween I was hoping to get a cute shot of her holding or chewing on one of my peewee pumpkins (thanks Shelley for this great new term as I have always just called them miniature pumpkins!) But alas, Nora was much more interested in the leaves than the pumpkins. Luckily she's super cute no matter what so we got some great fall shots anyhow.
Oooooooo!
Fun with Dad!
Mmmm, delicious.
Momma's girl...
After the pictures we seized the day and went for a walk. If you walk south from our flat you run right into town which, don't get me wrong, is great and old and very fun to explore. But if you walk north just a bit (which is what we did yesterday) you pass a bit of residential area, then a beautiful old cemetery and a golf course and then... vwah-lah! You are into the English countryside. Gently rolling hills covered with fields which are seperated by rickety old fences or stone walls and general shrubbery and spotted with lazily grazing cows, not to mention the occasional old stone farmhouse. Just lovely.
