It's fall in Utah

and it is a beautiful time of year. The mountains are gorgeous with the changing colors and the brisk air in the morning is perfect.

We went to visit Ben this morning in Provo so I decided to take some pictures of his plants which have grown quite a bit since he has seen them last.

 And then one of all of the leaves falling to the ground in our backyard....

I am grateful I was able to keep most of his plants alive.  He loves plants and gardens so much.

Ben is doing a bit better this week.  He is talking more and more.  He is now able to go off the unit to get his meals at the cafeteria.  He still is constantly hungry which is a side effect of his current medication but it is good for him to have some choices for his meals and to get outside of the unit a few times a day.

The one thing I don't like about fall is that it means winter is on its way.  I am not a fan of winter at all.....but winter does lead to spring which is awesome!  The circle of life as they say.....
