Our new neighborhood is full of big, beautiful trees and it has been the most splendid sight to see them change colors this fall. Elliot and I couldn't pass up a chance to go gathering. I'm thinking of stringing a garland out of our collection to add to our fall mantle.

On Tuesday morning at Molly's parent-and-me class (I actually call it "Nana-and-Me") the teacher showed the kids all sorts of fall stuff - a scarecrow, some leaves, seed pods, etc. So on the way to the car Molly and I stopped to choose some colorful ones to take home to share. When Jack and I did Nana-and-Me, he had done the same thing, so this was an ah-hah moment. At any rate...yesterday when I arrived at Sara's for my Thursday date with her, I found most of them crumpled on the area rug in the living room - LOL - and found that my first job of the day was to vacuum. The photos are beautiful; they remind me of all the raking and leaf-jumping we did when I was a kid in Pennsylvania.
Ahh yes, sometimes fall leaves are good for collecting or good for sorting or good for decorating with... or good for crumpling! :)
He'll fit that basket before you know it. In the meantime, he is strong enough to haul it around the neighborhood. What a fun time.
