The Streetpoet

A few things I’ve heard Seth say this week:

“Mommy, I just heard my hand buzzing!”  (Seth has a little cold and was leaning his ear on his hand.)

I walked into the kitchen and heard Seth say this while leaning out the screen door…”God, why did you say no?” I asked him what he had asked God and he said “I asked Him if I could have some of His food and He said no.”

He had just watched me swallow some vitamins and said he could hear me swallow them and then exclaimed “If your heart sinks into the water, you would get a new heart!” 🙂

Right down the road from our house is a “Pumpkin Patch” that has mostly rides and activities with pumpkins lying around for purchase. We had told the boys that we were taking them to the Underwood Farm to get pumpkins instead of going to Stu Miller’s, but Aunt Abby took us for a fun morning after we had gotten our pumpkins at the farm. Thank you for the fun times, Abby!

Regina sent me this picture of a plaque that was mailed to our mother last week from the Rugby Hall of Fame!

I had no idea they had nominated Daddy to be inducted to the Rugby Hall of Fame. I think only two nominees get elected every two years.

Somehow it’s a nice surprise when I find that other people remember him, too.

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. 🙂
