Beautiful Fall Day
The weather today is kind of amazing. Perhaps a little hotter than I would want in October (the high is 81°F), but slightly breezy with just a few clouds. I spent the day at the local park with my friend Sarah and her toddler friend, who we've been calling "Mark" here. The whole place has been decorated for fall. There are hay bales and cornstalks around the lampposts surrounding the fountain, which are ornamented with various kinds of pumpkins and mums. The buildings and miniature golf course have fake spiderwebs all over them. The carousel is playing spooky music. Perfect.
This may very well have been my last chance to go to the park with this little guy, which is sad. He's starting school, and Sarah will be moving on to a new family that isn't close enough for us to have this kind of park time. I will really miss it. It gets me out of the house, which I'm sure will be something I'm really craving soon. Plus Mark is tons of fun and adorable. He's taught me a lot about caring for toddlers that I hope I'll remember by the time my kids are his age. I'm not even sure when I'll see Sarah once she's working somewhere else. This was the bulk of our hanging out, and now we'll have to actually try to schedule in time around work :/
But enough sad stuff. Today was just great. And it was also completely filled with pumpkin. I had a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks with their pumpkin scone for breakfast, and then the pumpkin pie milkshake from Square Burger this afternoon. Seriously, fall is just the absolute best.

Was that moth gigantic? Because I think I saw one too on a walk with Ellie last week. I was HUGE! I didn't realize it was a moth, it kind of freaked me out.
