A pair of old-faithful Smartwools met the fall air this past weekend.  I was lucky enough to ride middle on one very "boyish" canoe trip as the temperatures dropped to sweatshirt-friendly.

Tyler, Jahred, Axel, Oscar and I paddled around Bluff Lake as the leaves turned before our eyes.  Still quite green in this particular part of Wisconsin, we were treated to changing leaves along every part of the two-hour drive.

We had a beautiful time, burned plenty of fallen limbs, cooked a few square meals, and left our cell-phones in the car.

Do you know what I love about sock season?  Everything.

Pictured below are a few abstract photos of the indoor hobbies I plan for when my socks need to hybernate.  Some hobbies are new, some revisited, perhaps I'll talk more about them in the months ahead.

WARNING:  Minnesota winter on the horizon.  Get your feet aired out while you can!

Cheers.
