A perfect Sunday...

Today was my kind of Sunday.
It started out with sleeping until 9:30- that may not seem all that late, but for me it is- especially on Sundays which is my day for dog duty. Ming usually wakes us up around 7:30 on weekends to go out, Eric takes Saturdays and I take Sundays.
Eric had to go to work today, so before he went we got up, got dressed, and stepped outside. It was a beautiful fall day. Crisp air, but not too chilly, leaves just beginning to turn- truly my favorite weather. We took the dog and walked to Starbucks- I got my decaf pumpkin spice latte (yum!) and then we headed to the park with our drinks where we threw a tennis ball back and forth while the dog chased it. I love mornings like that- so simple, but nothing better.

Then Eric continued on to work, and I went home and relaxed, did a few things around the house, and started reading A Thousand Splendid Suns. At about 2pm I picked him up at work with the dog once again in tow, and we drove out to a Pumpkin Farm. We walked around, picked up some pumpkins, the dog ate every scrap of food she could find on the ground, chased some chickens, and was completely confused by some sheep. We had hot apple cider and donuts with cinnamon-sugar on them, bought apple butter, and just had such a 'family' day. It was so nice to hang out, and it just reminded me why I love fall.

And the poor dog- I tortured her while Eric was buying the donuts- I LOVE this picture though, and am going to figure out what cool thing I want to do with it besides just print a print in the shutterfly store
