  2. The fall day looks so pretty through your living room window and Leo is enjoying the view and the falling leaves. Do you miss your maple tree? You had a very nice and productive homeschooling day. The Copland video with Professor Greenberg looked interesting. He's a good speaker.

    1. Yes, Leo likes to sit there and watch the street and the front yard. The maple tree is still there, they just cut the upper branches. Professor Greenberg does a wonderful job. We watched all the episodes.

    3. Martinmas got away from me this year and Greg threw his back out that morning! Today is Wednesday and is the first day since Monday that he could stand upright. He is on an inflammation reducing medicine and a heated backpad. He's slowly getting better. Maybe I'll plan a nice Martinmas dinner for this weekend. I miss the evening walks with the children when they were little but I can still plan nice walks with Greg :)

    4. Oh, poor Greg! Do you have a good chiropractor? I think they do wonders for things like that. I hope he is doing better today. Yes, a lantern walk with small children is so much fun! I also miss that.
