Muddy Spring

This says fall to me like nothing else. We went out to try out the new camera the other day. This is one of the good shots. I love this cooler, pleasant time of year. The harvest, the clean-up, the practicing of the marching band on our street (and the subsequent dashes down the alley to see if we can catch a glimpse of them before they turn the corner--today: Success! Along with a "parade" of neighbor kids riding their bikes to school) and even gearing up for winter. It is very possible by the time you read this that we'll be buried in snow. Until then I'm going to relish this autumnal glory.
