It's cold and it's raining. In fact, it's been raining for nearly a week. I set out today to take pictures of some fall decorating in the dining room but my house was dark. I intended to share a new project but there wasn't enough light to take photos. So I took my camera out in the rain - in search of beauty and inspiration...
And look what all this rain brought us... The following photos were taken on Saturday, during a much needed break from the rain.
Besides getting to devour all these veggies, this rain has been a great excuse for ignoring all the weeding and mowing that needs to be done. This weekend, when I wasn't driving the kiddos to taekwondo, or Hebrew school, or a birthday party I focused on getting the inside of my house ready for Fall. Because, rain or shine, Fall is my favorite season.
You definitely captured beauty and inspiration. I love that picture of the wet acorns. We collect them all the time. Have fun decorating inside while this wet weather sticks around for another couple days. ☺

I have the same problem taking pictures inside. I'm finding lots of light bulbs that have burned out. I too am enjoying making our house cozy. You did a beautiful job with the pictures.

Your pictures just encouraged me to go out and seek beauty. I was feeling down because of all the rain and lack of sun in my house. Thank you!!

I'm with you, fall is wonderfully beautiful! And a rainy fall day (when I can spend the entire day at home) is just the best. Have fun soaking up your season.

Oh, you captured some beautiful shots. I absolutely love a rainy fall day. I have been so tempted to call in sick from work just to enjoy the sounds of rain beating down on the roof, but I'm a terrible liar and I couldn't think of a plausible excuse. So, I trudged out and missed all the fun of a good rain. Thanks for sharing glimpses of what I missed.
