The Waterfalls In Autumn

 I have been to the waterfalls in spring and summer, but I have never seen them in Autumn, and Oh, what I was missing.  Nestled in nature, they are surrounded by all the bright changing colors of the season, which makes them even prettier than they are in the summer.  Me and my son took a drive to the falls, and they are only 10 minutes away.  We went to the lake first, which is right down the road from the falls, and I'll share pictures of that later.  These waterfalls are on California's list of beautiful places to visit.  So, come along while we take a walk and see this wonderful sight that has me in awe every time.  But first, let us drive through the coffee shop to get a Mexican Mocha with a little whipped cream.

The moss on this tree was so thick that it looked like the Grinch's arms.💚 

And for an extra treat, when we showed up at the house, the deer were in my yard and roaming the neighborhood.

Back at Nel's house, Mia had a special time making caramel apples with Nel.  Nel sent me a little note telling me how much she used to love when I made these for the kids growing up during the Fall season. 🍏  I'm pleased that my daughters are keeping the traditions alive and having so much fun with them in their own way.

I have to share a few more pics of the changing trees in town, cause the colors are brilliant.  And I know just where to go to see them.  ; )

We had a big wind Saturday, and lots of rain on Sunday.  Leaves were blowing everywhere.🍂🍂🍂

So, it was a nice time to stay inside and have a comforting meal of homemade stew,

 and Duncan Hines Dolly Parton's chocolate cake and vanilla frosting.  Have you ever tried her cake mixes? - they are so moist and good!

 Do you know what's also nice to do on a rainy day?  Go through old photos and remember.  Now, I was just in my early twenties when I was raising my daughters.  Didn't have a lot of time for partying or socializing like many girls my age, but looking back, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

And one of my favorite pictures is this one of the girls playing in the leaves at grandma's house.

Have a cozy Autumn week.
