Fall is Here!

This week begins the rain, and thus begins the fall! Here are some seasonal lovelies I've experienced over the past few weeks:
 The last day of my fall break, we went on an absolutely gorgeous hike on the other side of Steens Mountain.
 The yellow alder trees were spectacular!
We walked in a valley with a creek running through the center.
 The colors and textures were perfectly fall! I couldn't stop smiling.
This Saturday some friends and I took a shuttle to nearby Sauvie Island.
They had a corn maze, some hay bales for kids to climb on, cute little 'cow trains,' and...
 ...a pumpkin patch!  (I got gourds at the market area :) )

I made this delicious single-serving apple crisp the other night.. seriously fantastic! I would recommend THIS RECIPE to everyone! (I apologize for the bad lighting, it looks much better in real life!)
And tonight my dorm carved pumpkins in the common room. Fall is here;fall is here.

  1. Aargh, I just wrote a nice comment but it disappeared. This comment will now be lame. Fall brings winter. Stop the madness. I want summer!
    So glad you include selfies!
