A chilly fall day

When October came around, I was ready for it to be fall. It was so warm, and I was aching to see how North Carolina would greet me with all of its trees turning beautiful shades of red, yellow, and green! I waited and waited. The only thing it greeted me with was rain, rain, and more rain. I assumed the leaves would be gone before they could even turn! Alas, a day without rain came, but it felt more like a brisk winter morning. But we had way too many days inside that we had to get out, cold or not!

I love living in a cul-de-sac. Our circle, that's what we called them, was where I played. There was hardly any traffic, which meant we could play anything from tennis, to kickball, riding bikes, to roller blading. I love that Nixon get that's same chance to run and play in our circle now.
