The boys and I love to go for fall hikes. Today the wind was strong enough that the leaves were flying all around us. What a wonderful day! This week the weather has been warm enough to go outside with a t-shirt and pants, needless to say this is my favorite weather. Elijah and Josiah love the woods and love to walk in the woods.
Above they are taking a rest on the loop at Curtis Homestead. Both of the boys walked the loop trail at Curtis, they were very tired, and by the end I had Josiah on my back and Andrew on my front. After numerous rests and an hour of walking both boys completed the 1 mile loop exhausted and delighted over the fall leaves.
Today the remaining leaves have completely left the trees bare. From now on we will be greeted everyday by naked dead looking sticks. All we can do is wait. Wait for the crispness of fall to turn into the cold lung freezing air of Winter and with it... Snow.

Look at those beautiful boys. I can just picture them sticking their heads out the windows of a bee-u-tiful jalopy a-whoppin' and a-hollerin', and just raising a ruckus. One day we'll find one that's Smith worthy. Who knows, in a few years maybe I'll give you Mrs. E. Heavens knows she's moving on down that line. But don't you worry her engine will still work fine! Can't wait to be back and hiking those woods with you. And as for those dead looking sticks, how 'bout we paint leaves on your windows in just the right spot so it looks like the trees are still in respectable society, rather than falling into the dregs of the nudist community. Eh, eh?
