much love monday.

i like to use monday as a way to reflect on the previous week, to start anew, and to send a little love into the world.  won't you join me?    

today i am grateful for:

happy october!  i love this month so very much.  c and i got our fall on this weekend with a trip to an indiana pumpkin patch & apple orchard.  so nice to get out of the city for an afternoon.

pictures worth a thousand words:

 {on the advice of one of my lovely readers, we ended up at county line orchard in hobart, indiana}

 {due to the crazy weather in the spring, apple season has really suffered, so they've set the good ones out in troughs for picking}

{but they're still delicious}

 {you can pick your own sunflowers as well}

{our haul!}

this week's blog love:   

• joelle of something charming speaks up about negativity in the blog world.  important words.
• surprised by joy: some beautiful, emotional and heart-breaking words from anna of anna-bird following a loss.  her words will stay with you.
• casee marie of the girl who stole the eiffel tower introduces us to the newest hit bbc series coming to pbs: call the midwife, which premiered last night.
• i am loving ever swoon's new whimsical wednesday series.  this week: alice in wonderland-inspired.  

here's to another grateful and love-filled week.  

xo. di.
