Finally after being touched by ice a couple of times, there was snow at Toccoa Falls today.

The students continue to decorate pumpkins and for some silly reason, I continue to take their photos!

This is the only rock bench left on the TFC campus. There is a short one located along the pathway to the falls, but it is not like this one. Years upon years ago (I’m told), this was where students met for dates! No one could hold hands and certainly never, ever steal a kiss. Of course, those days are long gone! BTW, Homecoming is this weekend, and I know I will hear all the old stories over again. What fun!

Okay, someone tell me: does life get any better? And why haven’t I tapped into this before now?

I ended up taking the dogs for a quick walk in the woods. Soon, we were moving through dense woods and then out alongside water, which already bore the evidence of Fall’s soon arrival. What did Chipley do? Naturally, he dove into the shallow pool and then ran down the sandy pathway without giving a second thought to the consequences of his actions—a bath—his second in as many days. Cocoa, on the other hand, was the perfect Dog School 101 dog!

Cocoa Joy and Chipley take a break before heading home.
