I love fall the most–the leaves, the whole getting-out-the-sweaters activity, Halloween, and the whole anticipation of the Holidays.  My favorite snow activity is playing with lil one, buildig slly things.  Looking forward to our yearly Yosemite trip.

ryc about Dyson:  What a thoughful suggestion–that how clean our house is an extnesion of ourselves.  I mean, no matter how someone claims they’r a slob surely there’s a modicum of shame when people come over unannounced when there are socks and shit all over the house that are visible to them.  I’m a a slob naturally (my mom used to have hissy fits about my being one), but now as an adult, a wife, a mother, I’d have to admit that I’m not the only persn to think about anymore.  I kee my hous relatively clean and neat.  I’m not obsessive, but some days I am.  Our place is filed with light, windows everywhere, and you can see every little dust, clutter, youname it–and it can dirve me nuts looking at them and not doing anythign about it.
