Signs of Fall


Fans, you will no doubt notice two things about these pictures:

1. Birdie is sporting a bird hat that is too cute for words. This hat comes to Clara courtesy of Kendra who happened upon it while in the Pittsburgh airport recently. What you cannot see is that inside, it is lined with a bird be-decked fabric. (As if the green pom-poms weren't enough!) Birdie is fond of taking the hat off her head, but she knows that a hat goes on a head. We know because she will point to her head whenever a hat comes up. Generally, she's got all the heading-out-the-door accoutrements down. You know more begin to say shoes than she is on it! She collects her shoes, she gathers her coat, she grabs the hat. Once outside, she will man the steps in the middle of the walkway herself, thanks. She plops right down and scoots on down, one, two, three. She is a model of efficiency in the morning.

2. Birdie and Joe are in fleeces and Joe is sporting long pants. It's true. Fall is upon us here in the Great White North. This makes for some of our loveliest weather--chilly-get-yourself-a-warm-beverage mornings, cool-sleep-with-the-windows-open evenings, and temperate-walk-to-lunch afternoon. Joe is also sporting his fall kicks. (Mainly this is because his sandals possess a horrific stench. They remain in our home in case we still have a warm day or two, but Julie is itching--itching!--to throw them away.)
