We have been getting ready for winter the last couple weeks. It has been quite the task mowing, raking leaves, and picking up apples! Collin sure loves getting to drive grandpa Mel's nice lawn mower!
I personally love the fall. I don't know what it is about boots, scarfs, and jackets, but i sure love getting all bundled up in them. It is also this time of the year that i want to buy everything in stores. I just love fall colors. They seem to go best with my skin/hair color. It's sad to say that fall is coming to an end, and we are about to freeze our bums off.
I don't mind snow up until christmas, but after that it just needs to melt away. I remember asking my mom when i was little why everyone didn't just take a blow dryer out to their front lawn after christmas to melt all the snow. Once it starts to melt away and the snow on the roads just has dirt in it, it needs to go. Besides the fact of the cold, i'll be the first to admit that i'm really not a good driver in the snow. I have had numerous times running off the road and getting stuck. Let's hope this winter i'll have better luck!
Since it is november and everyone is naming everything that they are thankful for, I thought I would tell Collin how thankful I am for his hard work that he puts forth for us. He is a hard worker, and I don't thank him enough for that. He reminds me a lot of my dad, who is also a hard worker and always has been as long as I can remember. Collin will be a great example for our kids someday!
Although November really is the month of gratitude I think it is sad that we only show how thankful we are for certain things during the holiday season. I don't think I am near thankful enough for all we have, but it is a good reminder to be better at that.
