MY BOGGY BLOG: find your way through the murk

Get the Sweaters Ready...

We've been having this wonderful autumn this year. Gorgeous warm days in the 70s, lots of sunsine, and now the leaves are turning, all those reds and golds and browns and pale greens. I love autumn-- the colors the smells, the crackly leaves on the ground, the invitation to coziness at night. Now the weatherfolks are telling us that a cold spell is a comin', and we'll have temps no higher than the 40s by next weekend. It's hard to believe in sudden changes sometimes. I am wearing my sandals today, another day, and probably not tomorrow.

Of course, for a mom, the change of seasons brings a change of wardrobes, too, and that's not one of my favorite tasks. I'm never very organized and so we are at the last minute trying to find the warm jackets and sweaters and do they even fit these fast-growing kids? Older DS grew noticeably in August alone and now some hulking guy. I'd better firgure out if anything at all fits!

I've had two ladybugs or their Asian counterparts hanging around my writing nook for the last few days. I just let them out the window, telling them to enjoy one more warm day. So will I.
