November

This might be the latest I have seen the leaves turn color by us, but they definitely are not disappointing!

There is one street by our house that has such vibrant colors that it takes my breath away. Every time I pass it I think of the Robert Frost poem "Birches"

"When I see birches bend to the left and right

Across the lines of straighter darker trees,

I like to think some boys been swinging on them..."

Oh sure, that is only the first three lines...it is a classic poem that you can finish by clicking the link if you'd like. I recommend it!

Meanwhile Josh has worked two "half days" this week leaving me with our two boys for the first time. We all survived, and Liam is starting to ask to hold his baby brother now.

Hard to believe Brandon is 14 days old now.

And, just think, next year I'll have two boys to envision swinging in birch trees as they play in the fall leaves...
