Fall

 Now that it is October, it is definitely fall here. The mornings are chilly, but the afternoons have been quite warm. We still have a couple of hot days to look forward to this week (29C/84F), but things cool off to highs as low as 14C/57F soon after that. 

Yesterday we had a lovely fall day, raking leaves in the morning, and eating apple pie in the afternoon.

One of our colleagues has both a one-year-old and an apple tree. We gave her a rocking horse that our kids have outgrown, she gave us a big bag of apples, and yesterday we made a pie. It’s a little hard to tell from the picture, but we could have put about twice as many apples in. We had the apples, but Jeff’s hands were cold from chopping (the apples had been in the refrigerator) and I was impatient so we ended up with a half-full pie. It was delicious though 😊

Work has been busy, neither kid has been sleeping well, and we are pretty exhausted, but we are enjoying life reasonably well anyway.
