After an autumn full of rain and drear, November weekends have salvaged the season. Last Saturday we went to Tuscarora for a hike in the glorious afternoon sun. Carter fell asleep in the front pack and won't remember much, but our picnic dinner along the lake was pretty high on his list. In his little winter suit on the blanket he was a happy camper. Skipper Dipper's on the way home and that was about it. Two consecutive Sundays we've gone for long stroller walks. Last weekend it was around the big block and this weekend around Trexler Park.
The intervening weekdays haven't amounted to much. Supplier dinner Monday was about the only time one of us was away from the house after about 5:30. We're trying to do another round of cleaning/purging because it hasn't been done in awhile, but that's slow going. Plus, it's embarrassing. Why so much stuff? I guess it all seemed important and worth having or keeping at one time but now we have been filling boxes wondering why on earth we saved the 2008 Lehigh Valley Welcome Guide for four years.
