Halloween Weekend~

I did not have the traditional Halloween weekend that I am use to. 

 Instead I spent the weekend in Chicago...

It was absolutely gorgeous out!  This is the view from my room...

overlooking Wacker and State Street and a beautiful view of 

the Chicago River.

My favorite Hotel in Chi-Town...The only place I stay when 

I come here...Especially because most of the time I stay is when I am going to Chicago Theater.

Which is another place I feel like home at...I probably go there at least 4 times a year.....

This is a picture of the Wrigley Building...Built in 1920 and still the headquarters for

Wrigley Gum...

Also another cool view from my room...

The NBC Tower

And of course the new Trump Tower...

Amazing, isn't it...

I hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween...I will

actually be going to a concert Halloween Night and 

I have a feeling it may be a little crazy...Hopefully I may

capture some of it in pictures...

Until Then...Be Safe & Enjoy Your Halloween!

My Fall Front Yard...

Just about done with the decorating...

Some plants are done for the year

Some still standing proud... 

I love when it all comes together, it looks so welcoming... 

Bloody pumpkins and all.... 

What's your Beautiful Monday...?

More Fall Right out My Back Door...

It has been gorgeous out here. 

Every chance I get I 

try to do something to enjoy it.. 

Time seems to go by so fast and before we know it...

We will be carving Turkey's and putting up the 

Christmas Tree...But for now...Enjoy Fall.

And have yourself a Beautiful Monday~

Spooky Weird...?

My dear husband is a wonderful artist...

Check out what he did to the Chalkboard 

on the entry table...

I told you he would start adding his touch...

Cool huh??? Check out that creepy moon....

Happy Almost Halloween~

Nature's Beauty~

Everyday seems to be prettier than the next during

this month of October..

The days are starting to get shorter 

The evenings cooler... 

And the shades of autumn a little bit deeper... 

Nature's transformation from summer to fall, is awe-inspiring.

Something I believe everyone should see and enjoy...

A little bit more of this and that...

More of my decorating pictures...

I like pretty more than

scary...

of course as the day gets closer my husband will start 

to add a few of his "scarier" things.
Until then it's cute and comfortable around here.

What's your Beautiful Monday...?

My daughter got a new kitty...

Meet Bella~ 

Isn't she beautiful?

Have a Beautiful Monday~

It's beginning to look a lot like...Halloween!

I LOVE decorating for the holidays, starting with Halloween!

So, here are some pictures of what I've been up to...

This guy below is so cute, isn't he?

What a silly little pumpkin...lol 

More to come but for now, I best get outside and

enjoy this 80 degree day!

Happy Weekend~

The Sights I See...

I hope you all are enjoying your fall...

It has been absolutely beautiful in the Midwest the last week.

I'm sure I have mentioned this before but I live right along a river

It is so beautiful in the fall.... 

I never seem to be able to get enough pictures,

so I'm sure I will be posting many more over the next few weeks. 

The colors are amazing, oh how I wish these color changes lasted

longer than just a couple weeks... 

I love the reflection of the trees in the water...

I feel so lucky that I can walk out my door & have access

to such beauty....

What's your Beautiful Monday...?

Fall in black and white...

Wishing you a Beautiful Monday....

Rainbows...

I was driving home tonight and was greeted by a beautiful rainbow...I only had my cell phone and was in a busier part of town but I did my best to capture it.  Even if Sonic got in the way...lol  you still can see it...

Regardless of where I am, when I see a Rainbow it almost always makes me feel peaceful.

Rainbows are a  natural, beautiful piece of Art that colors the sky 

for such a short period of time.

So, whenever and wherever I see one, I try to capture it.

What's your Beautiful Monday...

The only leaf in this tree that turned from green to red...

So beautiful~

I hope you too find your beautiful Monday...

I've fallen...

For Fall...

I believe this is my favorite time of the year...It is perhaps the prettiest.

I love the freshness of the air...

Cool in the morning, semi-warm in the afternoon...

Cool again at night...

The reflections of the autumn colors in the water...Amazing!

The crunch of the leaves under my feet...

Fall is a feeling of comfort..

So grab a glass of Hot Apple Cider and take a few steps out the door...

Enjoy the beauty God has made for us....

What's Your Beautiful Monday....

Heading down to Heritage Fest...

Wishing you a beautiful Monday &

a wonderful week...

What's Your Beautiful Monday...?

Probably the last of the blooms for these guys...

Wishing you all a Wonderful Week and

a Beautiful Monday~
