Oh, how I love Autumn! It's not just because my daughters have beautiful "Autumn" complexions and hair.
(This is a thinly veiled excuse to post a photo of my girls. I wrote about Meghan today over here.)
I love Autumn mostly because the crisp air makes me feel invigorated. I did a cartwheel the other day, just for fun. Last weekend I put pumpkins and mums out!
But the north wind (not yet cool) has brought leaves and grass and sticks from Canada right to my front porch. (Well, it's the back porch, really, so we generally just call it "The Breezeway.")
The Breezeway gets to be more like a wind tunnel sometimes, and it's hard to keep it looking nice. Plus we've had an invasion of daddy-long leg spiders that are icky, so very icky.
Today's Small Thing is to simply sweep your front porch, stoop or walkway. I'm completely aware that it's a losing battle, but we've gotta fight on until winter, girls! Away with you, crumbly leaves! Be gone! Death to spiders!
POINTS: 30 measly points, but hey, this is a pretty easy job. So easy, you could get one of your children to learn some responsibility and do it for you! :)
Song of the Day: Autumn Leaves, Nat King Cole of course!
