No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace...

as I have seen in one autumnal face.
-John Donne
The girls and I went to North Carolina this weekend. A tragedy in our church family kept Lee at home but the girls had looked forward to the trip for 2 weeks and I really hated to disappoint them. They shut Tweetsie Railroad down with Pa and Grandma on Saturday and then the three of us had some fall fun on Sunday afternoon. They had the best time playing in the leaves! I love the pictures of Mary Clare with leaves all through her ponytails. She looks likes some mischievous wood sprite and she certainly has the personality to match. Margaret Rose was determined to make the biggest pile of leaves she possibly could and bury her little sister in them.























Mary Clare is just an animal magnet. They follow her everywhere. This cute little thing refused to go back to its owner preferring our Nibblet. It even headed down the trail with us when we were leaving. We had to stop and let its owners come and get it. MC really wants a dog of her own. Margaret Rose is fond of the idea of a dog but is not fond of slobber or dog hair. Lee picked the girls up at PoPo's house last week and found MC playing with mom's maltese Sadie and MR playing with a stuffed maltese.
