A Fall Day

Maybe it was because there was just so much of it, and maybe because it was my first non-holiday day off since last Christmas, but today was a pretty good time. The weather was wonderful, and I took advantage: a long walk with Vivi in the morning in which she showed her love of the trees;

a fun rollerski around the block, racing the trucks hauling harvested corn and turkey-barn manure (in separate trailers, of course); and a long afternoon walk with both girls on the eastern side of the Arb, where we played with a wonderful natural "seesaw" - a tree that had fallen into a springy bush:

Good times. I hope tomorrow's as good, and that it starts 90 or 120 minutes later than today did.

Forecast: Significant blowing and drifting, with the possibility of heavy accumulation in rural areas.
