Sunday was a magnificent fall day in Minnesota!
Well... that is, of course, unless you were in the Twin Cities Marathon.
84 degrees (29C), sunny and a moderate breeze is terrific for, say, taking your kid to an apple orchard for the evenings adventures in pie baking. It is rather miserable if you're pounding the pavement hour after hour...
In a preemptive strike against those apple pies we took M for his first walk in the woods.
Millions of leaves are rapidly turning color and for a fleeting moment we have the fiery beauty of the vegetation, warm weather, no humidity, and no mosquitoes.
M seemed to enjoy himself. I think the bumps of the trail along with the crunching of dry leaves were quite soothing.
What a day!
