We had the sort of autumn weekend that makes us wonder if global warming is really so bad (well, as long as you're not a polar bear - yikes!)... It is mid-November, but Saturday the sun was shining all day and it was warm. The kids got to have the kind of fun in leaves that I grew up with in Arkansas, but that I don't really remember being so much a part of November kid life in Seattle. The leaves are usually too wet to really pile up and jump into. It was a match made in heaven: Rob busy piling all the leaves up so that he could mow them into a mulch to put on all our garden beds, the kids at the ready to jump into the piles, throws leaves into the air, and generally have an all-around wholesome afternoon of frolicking fall frenzy. They stayed outside all the way 'til the end of a knock-out sunset, before coming in for Indian-style turkey and peas, brown basmati rice and steamed brussel sprouts and brocoli. A sweet Saturday...

Oh I do remember big piles of leaves in the backyard of #4 Coachlight Cir. I remember hollowong out the piles to create forts...thanks for letting me re-live the moment vicariously through Lu and Jasp...I would love to give Max a chance to frolic someday...the two little Charlie Brown aspens in our front yard just don't produce adequate foliage
