Have I ever mentioned how much I love fall? The only thing I love more is a fall with sunny, unseasonably warm weather, which allows me to go outside and enjoy the beauty of the season. And this weekend, I've done plenty of that.
This is a fairly simple outfit, totally copied from Rebecca's post on MinnChic the other day. The scarf was last seen on Meko. She totally wears it better, but thankfully, she was nice enough to let me borrow it.
Tee: Loft
Pants: Loft Outlet
Scarf: Limited
Shoes: Puma
Speaking of the dogs, one outdoor thing we did this weekend was give both the dogs a bath. There probably won't be many more weekends where it's warm enough to hose them down in the backyard, so Fella and I took advantage of the weather. They look happy here, but they were less than thrilled about baths.
I also went on 3 bike rides this weekend, logging close to 35 miles! Above, was a ride down to Montrose Habor on Friday.
Yesterday Fella and I took a 17 mile ride up to Evanston and back. Here he is above, in the International Friendship Garden in Evanston. It's just beautiful, though definitely a trek to get up there. We decided that, should we get another nice Saturday, we'll pack up some snacks and just ride as far north as we can. And probably take our bikes home on the train, since I don't know how much I can ride beyond 20 miles or so.
Here's some pretty flowers and plants in River Park on Chicago's north side. I don't think it's technically one of the city's prairie areas, but it reminds me a lot of what I've seen in prairie habitats around here.
And this morning I took a ride down to the lake, hoping to see some of the Chicago Marathon. The northern edge of the route is just west of where this picture was taken, but alas, I didn't see any marathon runners. I did, however, see a pretty, somewhat hazy city skyline.
How are you enjoying fall?
