Many years have passed here in Spokane, Washington when the weather turns from hot to freezing cold and we are deprived of the wonderful in-between seasons. I am beyond happy to report that this year we have gotten all four seasons, and fall hasn’t been forgotten by mother nature. Papa and I decided to go to Manito Park to soak up all the splendid colors.
The temperature has gradually cooled down giving the leaves a chance to change colors before falling.
There are many other gardens at Manito Park and it’s all FREE!

When I asked Papa, “how much do you love me?”he said with his arms wide open…”THIS MUCH!”There are huge Koi fish in the pondNow this is an awesome autumnPark bench to ponder life? Or just a place to take a load off.Well, Papa thought it was funny!After doing a lap around the garden we worked up an appetite and decide to get Panda Express for lunch
We stopped at the Duncan Garden on our way out. Soon all the flowers will be gone, but there are still a few bloomingMany people run laps on this trail that goes around the gardenHey, there’s Papa, walking through the perennials
