Playing Outside


Fall is my favorite season for being outside.
Today was the PERFECT day for that.
Or

at least I thought so.
The sky was SO blue, the trees are turning and it was in the upper 40's.
There was just so much to see and do.
The moon was still visible.
Pinecones show up very well.
The magnolia tree has what looks like downy angel wings falling off of it.



Jonge enjoyed picking up the pretty leaves.
Swinging isn't quite so fun when it is cold.
Jonge did not want to go outside. I had to drag him out, and when it was time to go inside he didn't want to do that, either.
But, we found sticks and defended our fort.
He wasn't sure exactly what we were hiding from, but it was still fun.
Charley kept giving away our location and running off with our sticks, but Charley is a dog and just doesn't understand about stuff like that.
Every boy needs a dog.
And a cool backyard with a fort.
(shhh. there is no fort. but we are good pretenders. there is really a dog.)

How blessed those children are to have a grandmother like you. You fill their lives with imagination and joy- something they will have with them all of their days.

He didn't want to go out? I can't ever convince Asher it's too cold or to come in when he's turning blue. I usually have to pick him up like a sack of potatoes and haul him in kicking and screaming!
