The leaves are mostly gone in this part of Minnesota. The wind feels and sounds cold. I’ll be getting my winter overalls out sooner than later, so time in the photo fort is more comfortable. It’s very nice to have mittens that allow my shutter finger to be uncovered while the rest of my hand is warm.

I’m already homesick for warmer weather, but I’m pretty sure I’ll find beautiful wintery things
