Leaves, Donuts and More Leaves

Hello, All!

AUTUMN LEAVES. I think fall is falling...the front yard has enough leaves that Frank can't mow the grass. We need to rake. (David and Teresa are probably getting a little sad and emotional in Utah, eyes tearing up some, because they won't be able to participate in our annual raking ritual this year...)

Kara finished up her last week of soccer, so that is kind of a bummer. It's a good group to play soccer with! Now maybe she can get her homework started BEFORE 8 p.m. each night, and get a little more sleep? It's a nice goal, anyway :)

Besides some rain that we are in desperate need of, nothing earth-shattering this week. Frank had a couple of interviews and conversations with recruiters. That always feels better than "just" networking and researching companies for hours and hours. Which he is still doing anyway. We slowly plod along in the job search.

DONUTS FOR SALE. Kara organized the junior class Krispy Kreme fundraiser, where they sell boxes of doughnuts at the soccer fields, and the town dump. The Wayland Town Dump is a tradition here in Massachusetts. Everybody in town takes their trash and recycle stuff to the dump every Saturday. It's a social event!

There is also a table there where people leave used items, and others can pick up their used bikes, skates, kids toys, books...you name it! Kind of a "used item swap."

(WE just have someone come get our trash each week. But a lot of other people go to the dump on Saturdays.)

Cool mushroom in the front yard:
it's as big as a PLATE! :)

Anyway, all that explanation was so you know that to sell donuts at the town dump, is actually a good idea on a Saturday morning. LOTS of people come by.

FALL FOLIAGE. I'm including some fall pics I took a couple of weeks ago. Frank was coming home just as the sun was going down. He called me, and said "if you're not outside taking pictures right now, you're missing out!" It was a beautiful afternoon with some great colors.

My self-imposed blog time is up! Have a great week!

Love, Kari
