My Seussical Life for 2005 October 18

My fondness for fall is growing every day. We had a spell of cool, soup-weather days in the early part of the month (I love soup weather), and this week has been so breezy, cool, and sunny that we can hardly stand to be inside. Today was so beautiful that I loaded the boys' bikes into the trunk of our Subaru and we drove to the nearby nature preserve to ride on the bike trails. I walked behind as the boys peddaled the three-quarters mile distance to Mary's Lake. Atticus and Samuel found some sticks, and they played on the dock for a while. Then we retraced our tracks and spent some time at the nature center looking at the animals, reptiles, and birds. What an ideal way to spend a fall afternoon.
