It is in the 70s here at the end of November. That is ridiculously warm, particularly given that we had snow in October this year.
We spent Friday at Longwood Gardens with my parents, and though we had figured we be there for a few hours and then head to Stausburg to ride the train, we never left. How could we? It was gorgeous.
Yesterday, we finally got all the leaves raked and the beds mulched for winter, and today the kids rode bikes, played in the yard, and dug for dinosaurs in this very messy game Connor received for his birthday.
Not a photo was taken these past few days but trust me, our yard needed these extra warm days, and we definitely took advantage of them! Feels like borrowed time!
