LEAVES

We sure love 'em. Thank goodness for Eastside Park, the glorious oasis of giant maples in the center of our desert town. We spent a few hours there yesterday after my run. My camera and I couldn’t resist the combination of cute kids and luscious leaves. Scroll down for proof.

Oh large 'n lovely orangey-yellow tree, you are perfect. Yes, all of those cars belong to the same house...the houses on that street are packed with people! You can sort of see our little old yellow house between the blue one and the green one, behind the red car. It was so nice living with all those trees. Now we have to travel a mile and a half to get to them. But we do have our very own spacious house in a quiet neighborhood. It’s a tradeoff.

   

Those old trucks, old houses and the old-school slide made for some nice, rustic pictures.

  

[Excuse my neon running attire, rosy cheeks, and windblown hair. I wasn’t planning on being in any pictures but then I changed my mind. Kind of similar to how I wasn’t planning to write any captions, anecdotes, or quips along with these pictures, but then…]

And we’ll leaf it at that.
