Yay, it's cold today! I am very excited about this, because I get to wear my sweater and slippers. I think I am also getting my annual autumn sinus infection. I am not so excited about that.
We went on a blustery nature walk yesterday, the boy, the dog, and I. The boy likes to stop every 5 paces and squat down to study the ground and occasionally scrabble about in the dirt with his hands. He fills his pockets with acorns, rocks, and walnuts, waves sticks about wildly, and studies leaves. Myles doesn't understand why we are walking so SLOWLY on this outing, because usually we are fast, fast, fast! The boy thinks fast is boring, and sometimes, he likes to just sit down on the side of the trail and contemplate. Poor Myles. Poor Mama, too. She had a hat, but no jacket, so she got cold waiting around.
The leaves are really starting to change color now, and the wind is blowing them around in a delightfully violent manner. I'm ready to get cozy and stay cozy.
Here are some shots of end-of-summer fun, playing "war." Don't ask. I don't understand it either.
