These are a few of my fav’rite fall things . . .

(Corniness warning to readers: you must sing this poem to the tune of “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. Go ahead. You know you want to.)

Crisp Fuji apples with carmel to dip in
Bonfires in backyards while watching the leaves spin
Woodsmoke that lingers on clothing and clings
These are a few of my fav’rite fall things

Bright, sunny mornings, upcoming Thanksgiving
Stars on my iPod, my soundtrack for living
Sipping hot cider or chai while I read
These are a few of my fav’rite fall things

When the kids gripe, when I’m lonely, when I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my fav’rite fall things, and then I don’t feel . . . so bad!

Robert Frost’s poems bring fall inspiration
Wearing wool sweaters and hiking creation
Playing more soccer while pine needles sing
These are a few of my fav’rite fall things

When the kids gripe, when I’m lonely, when I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my fav’rite fall things, and then I don’t feel . . . so bad!

An Autumn Hike

Evan and Jenny joined us on Sabbath for a lovely hike to Black Rock. The leaves and weather were perfect!

Megan and Jen Explore DC

Highlights of the day included Arlington Cemetery, including the Eternal Flame at the JFK gravesite, the Tidal Basin, Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial, walking along the mall and watching people and birds, eating at a lovely Italian bistro in Georgetown, and trying to find parking to go to the Smithsonian. Megan hasn’t been to DC in years, so the day was well worth it. However, once again, we have more “sister” pictures that reveal how much we do not look alike, just like a certain other recent visitation weekend. Craziness.
