Is it just me or is the sun more golden and glorious in the fall? I absolutely adore how much richer the yellow leaves look against a blue sky with that thick fall sunshine pouring all over them!
This is how one of the gorgeous trees in our park looks today. Even though I miss my dear Appalachian fall colors at this time of year, I’m still thankful that we have SOME deciduous trees around here in the desert of central Washington!
Crisp, fresh fall weather makes me giddy! When Jay and I went to the park yesterday it was super windy, so there was a carpet of newly fallen leaves to frolic in. So, we frolicked!!!! Jay thought throwing leaves into the wind and letting them blow onto his face was great fun, and he squealed and giggled with delight while we played. I even tried making a “leaf angel,” but sadly this does not work quite as well as a snow angel (not worth a picture).
On Saturday morning, Jeff came with us to the park. It was cold and our feet were freezing and wet by the time we left , but we had fun blowing bubbles anyway:
The ground was so dewy that the bubbles just stuck all over the place without popping!
mmmmmm soap
King of the Mountain! (or picnic table)
As you can see, we spend plenty of time at the park. Unfortunately, some idiotic people drew and wrote obscene, offensive things all over the playground. So I took a Sharpie of my own out there one day and did a little editing. There is still plenty that I didn’t cover (and I think they came back after me and did more—grrr) but I need a fatter marker before I even attempt to tackle it!
And now, for a video of Jay going down the slide like a big boy! I am bummed that I didn’t record the time[s] that I didn’t managed to catch him at the bottom—he never cried, even though he flipped around and landed on his back in the mulch! Tough guy. [By the way, Jay is definitely the only cute person in this video]

I feel the same way about fall-I sure do miss Virginia.
