Pumpkins

I am suddenly a bit happier, more comfortable, now that it is cool outside. Maybe I hate the sun. Maybe it is because it weakens me (bad for heart failure) and burns my pasty skin. Maybe the only comfortable summer clothes are the ones that also show my chubby arms.

You might love the sun, and perhaps that makes you more celestial. (And yeah, somehow it is a bit more bearable in Tucson. HIDEOUS back east.)


Here's what's great about AUTUMN:

• Pumpkins and pumpkin treats
• Halloween oreos
• Gray clouds and crisp air
• Fresh apples
• Purty colors on the mountains
• Making costumes for kids, especially when you are challenged to make something for which you cannot find a pattern, like Uglydolls
• Diet coke somehow tastes better
• Neighbors bringing you peach pies
• No longer suffocating in the heat
• Most bands just sound better in cool/cold weather
• Pushing Daisies is back!

Here are some pictures we took in the fresh autumn air. Someone carved things out of wood and trees in a field near the temple. There's also a big, sturdy flower carved from a stump.

Ain't Jakey's smile cute!

Our family, awwww.....
