Well, this morning was the first day (since Spring) we turned our furnace on. It was a mere 67° in the house, but the girls thought it was so cold it could snow inside our house! So I set the thermostat to a toasty 69° (one degree warmer than we usually keep it in the wintertime), and all was well. It will be interesting to see what the girls think in January when it gets down to, like, 12°! It's supposed to freeze tonight, so our neighbors were out harvesting their garden and offered to help us do ours. We managed to get 4 yellow pumpkins, a handful of green cherry tomatoes, and a few cups of miniature carrots. I've always loved the idea of a garden, but except for my beloved chives and maybe a cherry tomato plant or two, we have never really done much. It's still my goal - maybe one day we'll actually have a "real" garden!
Another rambling.... For the last week or two, Kiera has gotten a little teary in the mornings when it's time to leave for school. I've been a little concerned since last year in Kindergarten, Kiera loved going to school till a fellow classmate started bullying all of the kids - for about a month Kiera was just overwhelmingly sad about even the thought of school. But Kiera assured me that no one was being mean to her - she just misses me at school. She said, "Home is the only place you can cry...."
