Autumn Now

For my parents in Bangkok and Martin's parents in Houston, here's a little of what you're missing:





Our first hoary frost lay over everything--the stroller, railings, car, trees--zapped the zinnias, but melted quickly to give way to a perfect autumn day. Beatrix's favorite new thing: chasing squirrels in the park. One threw down nuts at us today as we waited for Martin. My mother has always had a particular knack with squirrels--one at the Episcopal Church in Maryland chatted regularly with her.

Are there squirrels in Thailand? I won't list what I'm missing by NOT being in Bangkok. Martin cooked Thai noodles tonight, so it's almost as if we're there. Hmm.

Zippitydodah! Hoorah for yellow and red! And for Thai noodles!

You're not saying your mom is squirrelly I hope!
Our leaves are just barely turning, but it came close to freezing here last night.
Tomorrow it is supposed to hit 76 and sunny, with no chance of rain.
We are going to the State Fair, haven't been for several years.
It is Military Appreciation day, Ariel can't be here to go with us but it is a good crowd to be with.
Elspeth should get together with Bonnie, our Sheltie. She hates squirrels and loves to chase them also.
