FALLing in Love

Cheesy blog title. But let’s face it, I love puns. And I love fall. And I love Maggi.

Maggi and I went to Castlewood Park this evening. I got so many good pictures that I want to post without looking obsessed with Maggi. So I’ll do it here. The trees were beautiful. So was the sunset.

Castlewood has many great lookout points. Not designed for girls in boots. But we don’t care!

We found this fallen tree. It was perfect for taking pictures. Unfortunately, some guys saw us there and hijacked our spot when we walked away.

We found a lovely spot to watch the sunset.

She looks like Merri with the way the sun was shining on her hair

I told you I looked obsessed. She was a great subject!

Perhaps I’ll have to find somewhere else to go tomorrow.

Last week, a day after our AC was repaired, The Lord blessed us with the most beautiful weather. Totally unexpected for July in St. Louis. But one thing I’ve noticed from 25 years of St. Louis living is that the weather here is unpredictable. We’ve had our air off all week. Low 80s during the day and dropping in the 60s at night. Unbelievable! This has been my favorite summer ever! I hate extreme heat or cold. I need some Hawaiian living!

Anyway, last Wednesday was the anniversary of Mr. Shaw’s birthday. He was the founder of the Missouri Botanical Gardens. That meant free admission all day! With Maggi and Mayci on their way to Chicago, I felt very responsible for documenting our day. While I didn’t take tons of pictures, as Mayci would have, I did get some!

I think I’m standing next to “Mr. Shaw”
