Fall

We had a beautiful fall this year!

Some nice warm days into October & extra outdoor time for the kids.

First day of school ~ Grade 6 / 4 / 1

& Davie at home.

Asher & James with classmates

Davie learned to ride a pedal bike!

David loves walking the curbs. He also has perfectionist tendencies, so if he messes up he likes to start from the beginning. We went to this spot one the afternoon to master it. 20 curbs. Three tries.

Asher doing some work with his buddies.

"September, you are promising.

The beginning of a gorgeous & necessary decay.

The edge of triumph before the deep rest."

"& then it is the hour when the day fades, when the last train sets out for Paris, when I have to return to my room. I wait for winter. Warmly wrapped up, we can linger here until nightfall, watch the sun set & the lighthouse take up the torch, it's hope-filled beams sweeping the horizon."
