I awoke this morning, to my surprise, with a declaration from the Ministry of Fall Funness:
“To all Super Heroes of said FadedJeansLiving we hereby declare you have been summoned to get your buttocks outdoors and enjoy the Fall! Hiking, neighborhood walks, and porch hot cider sitting is highly encouraged!”
“PS: If you’re reading this then you’re a Super Hero. This means YOU😊”
What was I to do? Well…I immediately told my boss I was taking a half day! Here are some photos of my fall outing with Dude. Hope you enjoy. We did.







I’d love to see a post from you all on your Fall outing!
Mucho Metta,
Dwight…and Dude!
We took a ride over the Blue Ridge Mountains to visit two of our favorite wineries. One is a farm that had been on the same family for over 100 years but only a winery for about 20. The other has been around for over 30 years and was started by a former Peace Corp volunteer. Both offer great wines with wonderful mountain views and lots of social distancing.

That’s tough, Dwight, as there are so many choices, but three of my favorite destinations are Cheyenne Mountain SP, Aiken Canyon, and Stratton Open Space.

Looks awesome! I’m glad he came back. I would have been nervous until he did so thankfully it only took him 15 minutes….I haven’t gotten out too much lately but it’s on for the weekend!
