Yesterday Archie and I enjoyed a nice fall walk around the Morningside Univ. campus over the lunch hour. So pretty!

#GetOutside #GoForAWalk #MorningsideUniversity #ThisIsIowa
My caramel and white colored dog, Archie, stands on the walkway at Morningside University. To his left is a patch of grass covered with yellow fall leaves. In front of him are beautiful planters filled with flowers. In the distance is one of the college buildings made of pink granite.

Bumblebee cuddle pile inside a hollyhock flower!

Bumblebees cluster in flowers to sleep and conserve warmth.

Check out this whopper! I bet this pumpkin weighs close to 100lbs. It took two of us to carry it to the car for delivery! Photo credit goes to my amazing boyfriend, James. We’ve had so much fun growing pumpkins together this summer!

In journalism, hard-hitting questions come with the territory. But one KCCI legend preferred spreading joy in each interview, like she still does today.
