This is probably one of the last, if not the last, nice weekend before the weather will turn cold and rainy in preparation for the arrival of winter. The kids and I went out for a walk and played along the way. Exploring the nooks and crannies of the woods that surround my parents property.
The leaves this year weren't spectacular in color, too much rain, and they fell to the ground very quickly. We were only really able to enjoy them for about a week and a half. I guess anything is better than nothing.
The kids have been busy helping Grandma Kris to get the backyard ready for winter too. They cleaned pots and picked up all the outdoor summer toys. They even raked up leaves for a pile to jump in one day. We've all had fun watching the farmers harvest their crops of soybeans, potatoes and corn. Now the fields around us are empty....the kids are already asking when it will snow.
It's fun to see the kids get excited about the seasons changing, but I hope the snow doesn't come too soon. I'm not quite ready for winter to begin. Not quite yet.

Great photos Millie! And, the one of the kids in the tall weeds... um, that's what I wanted!
