Would you believe me if I told you there was rush hour traffic just a few feet to the left of this field when the photo was taken? I stopped the other day and realized this field doesn't really look much like the suburbs at all, if you focus directly on it. This was actually the same field I tried feeding a baguette to squirrels and rabbits when we first moved here 19 (?!) years ago. The trees and weeds have just grown a bit. No one in my family liked baguettes back then, but we were given one as a move-in gift, and just before it started to go bad, Mom suggested we take it to the park with us. A mom, a five year-old, and a one-year old trying to feed the squirrels pieces of baguette. Sounds a little odd, and a little crazy, but I'm convinced we went home with an empty bag, so someone or something must have eaten it.
It's been a long time since I've added any writing to this page. I actually really really enjoy writing, but most of the time, I'm not quite confident enough to transfer it from a page in a notebook to the internet. This blog is a learning experience though, so I've decided to keep going with it, as if I'm the only one reading and writing (which might actually be true :) ) Here's to "crispy" fall weather, and changing seasons (in weather patterns and in life).
