End of the day

End of fall, beginning of winter (11-09-11)

What does your street look like at between 5 and 6pm when everybody is coming home from work? This is what our street looks like. It is pretty dead except for the occasional vehicle. This picture was taken on the day that it snowed for the first time. When I look at this picture I feel a little bit of dread. Another horrible Midwestern winter is coming(and if you don't believe me, read a blog post from last February that describes what it is like to be snowed in). I also think about the events of that day. I let Owen outside at 3 pm in his hat and gloves and coat, and he shouted to the children who were walking home from school. Something about starting primary. It was Wednesday, so I bribed Owen and told him that if he could clean up all his toys we would eat McDonald's for dinner (we do that on Wednesday's since Cameron has Young Men). We ended up going.The full moon that night was outstanding.
