I'm wistful for cooler weather. Despite being born an raised in the South, I was not made to be hot.
But because I do live, not only in the south, but near the coast, I don't get much of the cool weather I crave.
We had a small family outing today.
Mostly we don't go anywhere and when we do we wear our masks. (So don't let this photo fool you.)
We have been housing 5 tadpoles in a fishbowl on our kitchen counter for a month or so, letting the boys watch them grow legs, but just this week 2 of them died. So we knew it was time to put them somewhere more tadpole friendly. Since they are local frogs (captured from a swimming pool that had been partially drained, and became the breeding ground for the neighborhood frogs and toads) I knew it was safe to take them to a local lake.
Since the kids rarely get to leave the house anymore they were excited about going even though they were sad to have to say goodbye to their tadpoles.
Normally we feed the ducks and geese, then go to the playground, but there were too many people on the playground so we stuck to the lakeside, feeding the geese, taking pictures, gathering feathers.
It was a good day.
