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.)
This photo is from a couple of Autumns ago. It's one of my favorites.
I love Fall mostly because the crisp air makes me feel invigorated. I did a cartwheel the other morning, just just because I was THINKING about fall weather. I can't wait to put pumpkins and mums out, even though I know it will be awhile before that crisp air gets here!
But the north wind (not yet cool) has started to bring leaves and grass and sticks from Canada (Alright, Oklahoma) 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 spider webs 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!
This is a pretty easy job. So easy, you could get one of your children to learn some responsibility and do it for you! :) Sometimes easy jobs are just enough to raise your spirits and make you turn cartwheels!
Song of the Day: Autumn Leaves, Nat King Cole of course!
