Most of the time, I love living in the trees. This time of year requires constant sweeping/raking/blowing, but I still like all my trees.

We had a spare moment in between birthday parties, so we headed South, to the Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch. Wow, we had fun.

Instead of a braid that is inside (next to the scalp), the braid is on the outside (popping out from the head). I’ve seen this called a Dutch …
