Ahhh fall is here
I think fall might be here now. Cool air slips in through window at night forcing me deep under the covers. The thin blanket that had nearly asphyxiated me with heat all summer has now been covered with a heavy down comforter. I look forward to the time when I get to rake up all my leaves into a pile and then dive into them from the top of the wall. Then I will look forward to the broken clavicle and 3 months of physical therapy that will follow after failing to recognize that our trees produced approximately 11 crispy leaves this year and wouldn't break the fall of a thin four year old. I have a love-hate relationship with winter. I love to go on vacation to warm climates during the winter and I hate the chilly times in between those vacations. Winter just brings so much misery. Now that Amber and I have a kick ass scooter that get 95 miles to the gallon we will undoubtedly be in this situation sometime this winter. At least our friendly neighbor makes us delicious brownies all winter.

Perhaps its not the 11 leaves, but that the wall I assume you are referring to is approximately 40 ft high, and the leaves are covering a few grains of dirt that are hiding endless layers or rock.
Okay, no diving off walls okay? The neighbor you are referring to is going to have to withhold brownies if you attempt a stunt like that. so there!
