The week of Thanksgiving brought the last of the trees shedding their leaves. Those blustery winds sent the leaves helter skelter. Emily was put in the bucket along with leaves gathered up to be carried out to the street for pick up by the city. We had fun scooping, throwing and playing for a while. Then it became serious business to just get it done... it gets dark so early now.
I miss the colored hues of the fall leaves, and dread the cold winter weather. The only thing that keeps me going now is the joyous thought of SPRING !
I am THANKFUL for Emilys' playfulness...
