I love cool weather. I love the Autumn. We have a few fruit trees that actually turn colors and lose their leaves and that makes it feel more like Fall for me. The rainy season has it’s joys and challenges for me. Today we enjoyed a pot of bean and barley soup with biscuits for dinner, we stood outside and just BREATHED in the perfume of the clean earth and crisp air, and got to snuggle up together with warm blankets and tea. Then there’s the mud coming in, not only on three boys but the dog, too. 🙂

 Seth got Daddy’s big umbrella! Hmmm…not sure what happened to the pants and boots he had on? Ian has the only raincoat, and he’s all set with his pacie! They had the best time just walking up and down the driveway together as the rain came and went. Ian held Jerome’s hand the whole time. :-) I think there were songs being sung, too. :-) safe with big brother Out for one more stroll in the rain before nap time. I had to get my macro out for a few raindrop pictures. And oooh! the smell of the fresh earth and rain is lovely! Jerome told me about this flower “There’s a red flower in it’s bud!”.

Oh, Neekers!! These pictures remind me of the three of us playing in the rain with our rain coats and umbrellas!! Wonderful times. Your boys are precious. Can’t wait to come home and hug you and smother them with kisses (they’re really gonna love that when they get older hahaha) I love and miss you. Oh yes, and your rain drop pictures are spectacular!!! WOW! Amazing, Veronique! XOXOX
