Fall is almost upon us (although its 90 degrees in Colorado this week), and I'm reminicing on last year's October trip to Salem. I spent 2 days in early October in Salem, and everything I had heard about how busy and touristy Salem would be was true. But I went in knowing that there would be long lines and kitchy witchy stuff, so didn't mind. Day 2 The next day I checked out very early. I had them hold my small bag.

Getting There: Salem and the road to get there is packed during October, and there is pretty much no parking for tourists in Salem. So I do not advise driving. Also 98% of what you'll

I love fall. I'm usually planning a ton of activities including haunted houses. But obviously, this year had to stick to more outdoor pursuits. For the first time I want to YA YA Orchard, a small apple orchard outside of Longmont, CO. I had heard about it for years but had no idea where it was. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lili Armstrong (@liliontheloose) I enjoyed walking and viewing their animals, including peacocks, hens, donkeys, and horses. It was such a lovely fall day. That same day we then went on one of the

Fall is my favorite season. Its also Tessa's as she loves to eat leaves: View this post on Instagram It's going to snow tomorrow so made sure Tessa got to do her favorite fall activity: leaf eating. A post shared by Lili (@liliontheloose) on Oct 13, 2018 at 3:07pm PDT What's new this month is that I discovered Bullet Journaling this month. Essentially it's using a journal as a productivity tool with some art thrown in. Of course, that meant many trips to craft stores, and discovering AliExpress (and buying way too many .10 stickers and washi tape.)

September was a busy month! We moved into a new office this month at work. I miss the old 100+ history of our last office, but now I have a view of the mountains from my desk! View this post on Instagram New office! I can see mountains! A post shared by Lili (@liliontheloose) on Sep 4, 2018 at 9:15am PDT Its been years but I made it back up to Estes Park for the Scottish/Highland Festival. I really enjoyed the parade, but the rest of the festival is much smaller than I remember it use to be.

I'm a bit devastated to learn that the best 9 doesn't take into account multi-photo Instagram posts, so some of my best photos aren't represented here. Alas, that means this wall leans heavily to Halloween with just one dog and travel photo! Be sure to check out more here and to follow me!
