Colorful Memories

Believe it or not, Bridget and I are wishing for snow. The very wet, dreary and relatively warm weather we've been experiencing for the last week or so wreaks havoc on us, because mold spores are lovin' life and partying all around us. All of the fallen leaves and warmish weather are also signs of the good life for ticks. After an hour or so outside, the kids came in with four deer ticks that we saw. Who knows how many actually made it into the house on their clothes? Since we're stuck with this yucky weather for now, though, I figured a photo of this gorgeous tree from my friend Sharon's front yard would provide a distraction.
