Around here people are burning leaves in the backyard and with that crisp air it is a delicious smell.<BR/><BR/>I just found your blog a little while ago and I'm so excited that you're from Nova Scotia! (I'm from BC) I've been to New Brunswick and PEI, but, not NS. I hear it is lovely. Oh, and your blog is lovely too.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897963154223770756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-5276796526810402792008-11-10T20:18:00.000-04:002008-11-10T20:18:00.000-04:00It's a good thing you can sleep.

Although, I must admit, I never made piles of leaves as a kid, can you believe it? We never had a yard or anywhere to play but the park and those leaves were usually raked up.Mmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379020705220234984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-22602988958219158962008-11-09T15:48:00.000-04:002008-11-09T15:48:00.000-04:00Oh hi, thanks for the comments.

I've just had my head down trying to get through a tough week (oh, and the person I was stealing my "free" internet from had the temerity to MOVE! how rude!) and it's taken me a while to get things together. But I'm back, and it's good to hear from you, and I hope all is well on this late autumn Sunday.<BR/><BR/>(But I was always a Hardy Boys fan.

It was usually gone the next day.<BR/><BR/>It's such a great time of year.

I hardly read any more either....just so many other things to do. Although, having said that...I just read two old Robert Ludlum's and was glued to my couch... problem with me is I stay up til 3:00 a.m. reading ... then I feel like a log in the morning when I should be getting going..... oh, well, who cares... such is life, and I have no schedules unless I am silly and book a morning appointmen for some reason...........BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-41988454352497325422008-11-09T11:46:00.000-04:002008-11-09T11:46:00.000-04:00When my sister and I were younger, we would make r...When my sister and I were younger, we would make regular trips to our little brick library for Nancy Drew books, too. <BR/>I love the smell of the fallen leaves, too. I enjoy walking through carpets of them.

The elderly lady that lived there had leviathan elms that perfectly lined the edge of her property like wooden Goliaths and the game was to catch the "falling" leaves as the trees gave them up, and stuff them into our pockets. Leaves that had hit the ground were not allowed and the one who had the most leaves by the time we got tired, was the winner. Such a simple childhood game but so good for exercising and running out our boundless energy before we headed home for supper. I'm sure our mothers were thankful for those silly games.Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155550975088566435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-905732044640548452008-11-09T10:26:00.000-04:002008-11-09T10:26:00.000-04:00I was a huge Nancy Drew fan too!

I wish my mother had kept and given me that collection. Katy might like them. We watched the Nancy Drew movie together, me hoping she would want to read the books. <BR/><BR/>I'm like you...let us have enough snow (in our case it is to help prevent fires inn the winter) but not anything crazy. I'm quite curious to see how this first winter goes.anyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330838836181706358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-36221655618189124562008-11-09T09:40:00.000-04:002008-11-09T09:40:00.000-04:00Good morning, sweet Susan.

Shall I send some your way? ;)<BR/><BR/>I love the fall leaves as well, and have many memories as a child in my grandmother's back yard. Thank you for sharing your story and bringing back beloved memories of my own.<BR/><BR/>Tons of love to you and the gang!<BR/>xoAlexandra MacVeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317852980496492650noreply@blogger.com
