The Great Fall
Daycare still down n out. They sent an email setting a tentative opening date of this Wednesday, which we all know aint gonna happen. So the Monaco trio is working on its second week of hysteria scheduling our lives down to the minute. My blogs have been more sporadic lately, and I'm not sure why. Maybe the scheduling glitches have something to do with it. Maybe I'm not as inspired, since inspiration sometimes depends on the moon's pull.
Frost is starting to crystalize on the ground every morning now. Makes the grass all crispy crunchy. Neighbors have decorated their front yards with scarecrows n hay n pumpkins because it's harvest time (?). Not sure what my neighbors are harvesting. Some of them don't even need to invest in their Wal Mart scarecrows, if they'd just stand in front of their house, crows (and all of God's creatures) will certainly back off. Ha ha.
No, seriously. You should see some of my neighbors.
Visited my first pumpkin patch yesterday with Cam and Kris up in the hills of CT. Hundreds upon hundreds of pumpkins scattered everywhere. Little tykes jumping around trying to lift em. The farm provided a fleet of Radio Flyer wagons for customers to load up. You pay for your pumpkin by the pound, some were dangerously heavy, 30+ pounds! They say, if you guess the weight, it's free. I guessed 18, it was 22.
We took a hay ride through their apple orchard, which was quite beautiful. It's on a steep hillside so the views were magnificient with all the fall colors under the bright blue sky. The tractor pulled us through rows and rows of apple trees. Worth the trip, though we didn't sit on hay as advertised. It was more like a large truck bed with bench seating. No complaints, as hay can get a little gamey.
Love this time of year.
Hope you're diggin it, too.

I sometimes think about Tina Whitecar's nose ring in 10th grade. I used to stare and admire her for such bravery on the bus! Plus, it looked kinda sweet-she was hot. Great eyes! Feathered blonde and black hair.
Gyros for everyone!!!;)
