neighborhood color

01awSo do any of you have a fitbit? I wear one religiously, and while I rarely log my 10,000 steps these days (too much work at the computer!), the gizmo does buzz on my wrist each time an hour has passed and I haven't taken 250 steps. I am ashamed to say that this fall, with so much work on my plate, that it buzzes ALL THE TIME. So this afternoon I finally had a break and took sweet Mags out for a long walk to soak up the fall color. And I brought my camera!The photo at the top is one of my favorite houses in our neighborhood. It was sold maybe 1 or 2 years ago, and I remember telling some dear friends of ours about it because it still had it's original mid-century modern charm, but needed a facelift in terms of paint etc. While my friends didn't bite, the people that did are doing WONDERS with this home and it pleases me to no end. The house used to be a reddish brown with cream trim and traditional house numbers, and I just adore the latest paint  job. And I try not to be too creepy about peeking in the windows to see their fantastic taste in furniture and lighting. Anyway, that yellow door is A+ in my opinion.Below are some photos of the color found in nature -- this autumn has been so long and so lovely. I hope you're enjoying it wherever you are as well!02w 03w 08w 01w 07ww 05w 06wFor your internet shares of the day:+ You can now eat pancakes at Paisley Park, just like Prince.+ Wow.
