zoo man

We joined Ella's class for a trip to the zoo today. It was perfect to be on top of the mountain. We touched a screech owl and learned the word "crepuscular". Does it get much better? The drive was beautiful, the fog nestling down in the hollows of the mountains and the orange, red, and brown leaves on the hillsides. There won't be many more days for wearing shorts.

Tonight the kids and I carved two pumpkins. Ella picked out every seed and we roasted them with a bit of olive oil and salt.
