This weekend has been terribly dreary for me. A dear friend of mine went into labor a few months earlier than anticipated, and unfortunately, the baby didn't survive. We have been grieving with the parents - and letting them know they're loved and supported. 

Autumn is really setting in, making way for a colder season. Vermont has transformed into a beautiful canvas of yellows and oranges thick with nostalgia. 

Sometimes it really does feel like autumn mourns with us.
