It's Here!

After a wait of only about 5 weeks, we've finally put the new video up--click on the link "Annie's new video" and check it out.

So this evening while Bill was nursing his cold and putting the video up on YouTube, I took the opportunity of the break in the torrential downpours of the last few days to rake leaves out in the front yard. This was after Gretchen, her son, David, & I filled my green waste bin on Thursday. And here two days later, we had another foot and a half of yellow maple leaves in the front yard. But after seven years of this annual leaf-raking marathon--that my children detest--I revel in the opportunity to be out in the crisp fall air. My kids probably think my brain is under a pile of leaves. But I know that some autumn day when they're old, they'll pick up their rakes and head outside.

Why is it that so many of us persist in thinking that autumn is a sad season? Nature has merely fallen asleep, and her dreams must be beautiful if we are to judge by her countenance. (Samuel Taylor Coleridge)
