Rockin Her ABC's

Been busy celebrating Fall and trying to clean out the garage. Cleaning the garage also means finding little friends from the wetlands. Last night we found a salamander who looked very happy to return to the outdoors. Here is a video of Greta Rockin her ABC's... Fieldin loves this and sits and grooves to her beat. Rainy Sunday here today. I have to little ones wearing backpacks wanting to ride the school bus. I made our sofa a bus and I am the driver. Much fun to be had this morning.

The First Law Of Thermodynamics...

I am horrible at science. But I got the jist of the first law of thermodynamics(except regarding lost keys and socks..)

Pretty much, from what my right brain mind concluded was that nothing can be lost along the way, only changed.

This year has been a bit stressful for me and full of adjustments, yet some things still seem the same.

My address is different, but our new digs still feel like "home".

My mom may be gone(and missed), but always here in spirit and in memory.

Greta may be off to Kindergarten and finding her independence but will always need me.

With all the changes we have faced so far this year most things remain unchanged. With the arrival of Fall we have found comfort in Pumpkin patches, cider and donuts, Charlie Brown Halloween and a porch full of pumpkins. The decorations are different this year but still heartfelt and put up with excitement from the little ones.

My life is different. I guess the keyword to my world right now is "changed"....but luckily each day brings a routine and rituals that makes one look fondly toward the future.

So things are different for me, nothing has really been lost....just changed.

thermodynamics, who would have thought....

Have A Wacko Friday

Happy Friday Everyone!

Fall Is....

Carrots, peppers and apples that are as big as my head. SO good and cheap. I love the local farms around here.
Hanging Halloween Decorations. The decorations this year were my moms. I remember that they all hung on the slider or front window. All four of us love them. Greta and I hung some from the ceiling and taped some to doors. The kids like to eat meals and look up to see them hanging above. My mom made the bats out of construction paper and white chalk eyes. These are over 30 years old. I think they will find their way out every year in our home too.

Pumpkin patches. Little man was groining, grunting and eventually lifted the pumpkin and walked a foot. Then he said"big pumpkin" and "mommy you take". The farmer gave him a free pumpkin for all his hard work. He is a hoot.

Pumpkin patches at dusk. I love the smells, the colors, the harvest, the weather.

I just love this season!

Ode To October

"Suns and skies and clouds of June,

and flowers of June together,

You cannot rival for one hour

October's bright blue weather."
