Fall

Today...Fall is my favorite season. Maybe it is the crisp warm air, the colors of the trees, the crunching sounds beneath my boots when I walk Marley...maybe because today is my day off from work :).

John Deer

When your mother, Aunt Lise & Tyler were little, I would let them ride the lawn mower
with me. Uncle Tyler would almost always fall asleep.

Now I mow the lawn with this John Deer tractor with a mowing deck attached. At first
it was intimidating adjusting to having to raise & lower the deck, work the clutch, and steer.
Now I am use to it. There is no one to interrupt me.

I love how the birds flock to the grass behind me as I mow, searching for bugs, I love the
smell of fresh mowed grass, I like how I sit up high and can see the backyard when I am
mowing the path, and see Marley anxiously waiting for me to come by his dog house so
he can bark at me. I hope that someday soon you & Margot can come
visit me and we can walk the path, pick black berries and queens ann lace and enjoy
the different kinds of dragon flies. We can sit on the back deck or have a fire in the fire pit

at night and watch the fire flies.
