goodbye fall

I think that Fall is almost over.  It has been much warmer here this month than I expected.  Last year in Indy we had our first snow in November.  This year we're still running around outside playing.  Today is a beautifully sunny day, and I'm loving it.  Winter can be so cold and dark up here, so everyday of sunshine now means less time we're trapped indoors.  This weekend, we're just soaking it all in.

The kids (ours and the rest of the community posse) raked most of the leaves from our yard into our neighbors yard so they could make a big pile of leaves to play in.  I'm sure they appreciated that.  But the kids had fun.  Jumping in piles and such.

But, winter is  just a season.  It, too, will pass and spring will come again.  In the mean time, we're planning on enjoying Thanksgiving and Christmas and sledding and skating.  Hot chocolate and apple cider and candy canes and gingerbread.   Come to think of it, winter doesn't sound that bad after all, now does it?
