Bus stop Beauty, cool crisp air, and Halloween

Fall is in the air. Do you feel it?

(above pic..view from Jake's bus stop..do you see the trail to the right..I jog on that!)

Cool, crisp air! leaves changing colors! the sun cooling off!

It's time.... The start of the Holidays.

Collage of my neighborhood! (I'm in love)

Jake's bus stop makes my morning.

Really it does!

I drive Jake a half mile down and

enjoy my morning view...

I love love it. .

it makes me happy.

Isn't it pretty?

(can you see the playground and bikes..The bus stop)

I am here every day..The bus stop that is.

It consists of a playground, volleyball court, trails, and a lake.

It's a beautiful 360 degree view!

Ashlyn and her friends catch bullfrogs here,

Austin rides his bike down here with his buddies...

Another view of at Jake's bus stop...

I am in the same spot, just turned 180 degrees)

And this is on the other side looking back at the Bus stop...

This neighborhood makes me happy.

The colors, the leaves, the bushes, it is so beautiful here.

Much different from Utah but fun to experience new change.

We are at the bus stop by 7:o5,

so we are awake bright and early... (6:00 a.m.)

Every day I get to see the sunrise!
