The Pocket Park in the Fall

It's funny how things can change in just a short period of time. I'm so used to south Alabama seasons where you can wear short sleeves for most of the year. (And I never complained about that!) But these pictures, taken in early October, show a very different view than what I see out the window. Right now, it's snowing pretty hard. We may get up to 8 inches by tomorrow night. Scott is flying west again - this time to California - the same as he did during the Valentine's Day Blizzard, but it's not supposed to be as nasty as it was then with all the ice. The girls are going to be disappointed if school isn't canceled, though. They've been doing "snow dances" all night!

These photos were taken at a little park less than a 1/4 mile from our house. The kids call it The Pocket Park. It's in a beautiful spot with a winding brook that the girls loved to wade in when the weather was warmer.
