This & That

See that Wisteria bloom creeping out up there?  I blame the crazy warm weather we are having.  We have really been spoiled!  This morning, however, the tables have turned.  It's pouring outside.  We got to use the umbrellas on our way to and from the bus stop.  Thank you God for the person who invented umbrellas.  I have often heard or read in passing that in Washington, we don't need to use umbrellas.  They are for tourists.  WRONG.  Maybe those people don't have to stand at the bus stop twice each day, often times in pouring rain and wind.  We love umbrellas.  They save the day!

Look who took time out of her busy schedule to stop by!  Chippy was looking brown and thin, right on schedule.  She loves the new feeder and doesn't come up to the porch as often.  We were happy to see her!

The leaves are finally falling!  Maybe I am getting old or something, but lately I am feeling "finished" and "over" Halloween.  (And  the music screeched to a halt...)  The decorations only went up this year for the children to enjoy.  My love affair with Fall is still the same, but I could do without Halloween.  I am really enjoying the coziness that comes with Fall, and am actually more excited about seeing family and looking forward to Thanksgiving next month.

She found some treasures to show me. :)

At the little red table this morning are some paper clips and note cards with some random lines drawn onto them.  The kids can try to put the paper clips onto each line or build a paper clip chain. 

 We reviewed the numbers 1, 2 and 3 by counting and gluing items.
