early november days

The weather was still warm. Maddie and Caleb would be playing outside with our neighbor kids, and Maisie would be begging to go outside.

Once Duke was up from his afternoon nap, we three would often go out front, color with chalk, "ride bikes," run around and explore.

Some days, if I had dinner simmering on the stove, we would stay outside until Daddy came home.

In fact, a lot of September and October days were spent like this too. 

Duke has advanced enough that these two have become good buddies.

Pretty girl.

I love the fall!

Under our gorgeous yellow maple that is always the most radiant of yellows come fall.

There goes a car. Duke LOVES himself some cars and trucks!
