Today was Walk to School USA Day.

We always, well nearly always walk to school.

But today there was a whole passel of kids walking to school in a sort of walking school bus and my son had to join the crowd.  They walked down the opposite side of the street we usually take.

My son dubbed it "The Leafy Side" of the street.  Bouncing, pleading, loving "Mom, mom, mom can we PLEASE always walk down the leafy side of the street?!?!?!"

He's so my kid - I love fall.  He loves fall.  Those beautiful rusty looking leaves are impossible to resist, wading through, kicking them up, listening to their crunch, wanting to hunker down, scoop up a handful and sniff deeply.  Mmmmmmm.

yeah, ok, so its nigh impossible to cross our main street at my corner but for my kid we'll play the Frogger game every a.m.

I don't have a lot of people in my friends list here.  But boy are they a great bunch.

I do keep up with everything you all are doing even if I am not leaving comments and checking in.

Some of the recent things that have really REALLY moved me here, just to share, in case someone is reading this that could use some more great friends:

Joy Bringer lives up to her name, every day.

Jeff is SO insightful.

Kundan says it so simply.

Deeps!  Dang!  What have I been missing?

Now if only my parenting pals would all get back here.  I'd be so happy :)
