A Taste of Fall

Not pictured: Miss Colleen, and three girls who couldn't make it.

Unfortunately, Tucson does not experience some of the beautiful foliage that accompanies our notions of fall, but that is not to say that we don't have options! I spent this morning with these four lovely ladies up on Mt Lemmon enjoying the crisp air and warm drinks. We brought a little picnic spread of apple pie bites, cookies, muffins, and of course, hot chocolate.

These ladies are part of my core group that I help lead on Wednesday nights at CCC and we decided to do a little extra outing today.We had a great time chatting about this and that and hanging out. Miss Colleen brought a festive tablecloth to cover the table. While we were snacking, we saw a gigantic bird and a little squirrel came and said hello!

This is one of the views from our picnic spot. It's hard to see, but there are little houses down there. As we drove up, orange-yellow aspens greeted us as saguaros gave way to pine trees and rocky cliff-side. It was so beautiful! I am determined to go back so I can enjoy the color a little more before it goes brown.
