Just as summer transitioned into autumn my son was born and each year his birthday punctuates the moment when I’m finally willing to let summer slip away into the crisp, cooler days of fall.
This is a picture of me as a new mother enjoying my son, fall colors, and soft sunshine outside of Chattanooga, TN where we lived at the time he was born. I think TJ is about a week or so old and he looks so small you’d never know he weighed in at just under 10 pounds when he was born.
TJ’s birthday has always come complete with a picture perfect autumn day and during the years we lived outside of Boston it was often the beginning of “leaf peeping” in Massachusetts. We now live outside of Washington, DC so while mother nature has continued to bestow beautiful days upon us each year the trees have never been able to match the spectacular beauty of the New England countryside in October.
Today as my son turns eighteen I’m feeling a bit nostalgic and remembering the Boston birthdays (year 3-11) and thinking about all of the wonderful times we shared surrounded by autumnal colors. With this in mind I created several paint color schemes inspired by this wonderful time of year and my even more wonderful son, TJ.
