rainy monday

I don't mind a rainy day.

I don't even mind a rainy Monday.

And this rainy Monday makes me appreciate the fall and the coming changes that fall brings.  In the weather.  In our food.  In our wardrobe.  In our routines.

Fall also marks another big event in our house.

The arrival of the leaf-sucker trucks.

Ever since Big Brother was little, it has been a big deal to watch the leaf-sucker trucks.  A B-I-G deal.

And talk about the leaf-sucker trucks.

And create models of the leaf-sucker trucks.

So, this morning, Little Brother, Baby Sister and I embraced the tradition and followed the leaf-sucker trucks around the neighborhood.

Watching.

Talking.

Admiring.

In the rain.
