We had unusually warm weather today in Maryland with temps hitting the low 70s before a cold front came through. I took the opportunity to take Jessica and Zs into the backyard. I figured I'd rake together a pile of leaves for Jessica and let her play in it. She just loved trudging through the pile.
As you can see, I had plenty of leaves to work with. The tree with the bright red foliage is a dwarf maple.

Meanwhile, Zeke does his part for FLIP (Federal Leaf Inspection Program)...

...and Zora shows off how nicely her chocolate/tan coloring blends in with the leaves

Jessica, deciding that her father was not making the leaf pile big enough, decides to take matters into her own hands.

I hope everyone had a joyous Thanksgiving and wishing you all the best during this holiday season
David, it looks like you all had a very nice Thanksgiving.....so glad you enjoyed the nice weather while you could. The temps in Cinti are dropping today and by tomorrow morning when the stores open for door busters at 4am, it is going to be in the lower twenties....bbbbrrrrrrrrrr.....and yes, I will be one of the lucky few to be standing at the doors of the local retailer shivering my butt off and drinking coffee between gloved hands at 4am thinking to myself..."why am I doing this?" "I must be stupid"....but anyway....
All of us here in Cincinnati hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. May peace and joy fill all your hearts throughout this Holiday Season....
