October

"Listen!  the wind is rising,

and the air is wild with leaves, 
We have had our summer evenings, 
now for October eves!"-  Humbert Wolfe 

The wind did kick up today and the temperatures were cooler.  We are so ready for some cooler October eves!  Happy October!

that sweet friend

"We are friends and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter.  I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front.  We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often."

-Jeanette Winterson

We are working on some real friends too but for now this little guy goes with us everywhere.  He plays with her, sleeps with her, rides in the car and even has a voice of his own in the mornings when I hear {in a super squeaky high-pitched voice} "hi mommy, hi daddy."  Yes, Raffi, you are a true friend.
