a fall day.

I don’t know about you, but I spent this lovely “fall” afternoon with…

Ironman and...

The Hulk!

For a special science project on October 31, these two fine heroes joined us in the kitchen as we whipped up some mean caramel apples.

 Peeling the caramels that my grandma sent in a care package (thanks Gigi!)

 Stabbing the apples as we melt the caramel

 Dipping the apples and waiting for them to harden

And eating a delicious treat!

Later in the afternoon, I took a walk to a nearby garden.  I visited this one months ago when it was only dirt and tiny little sprouts.  But now…

And then...

After throwing around a tennis ball, playing “Monkey in the Middle” with some friends, the river came.

  

I actually got to witness it coming and watched as the waves grew in size and as the waters reached further and further across to the other bank.

This tree was standing about thirty feet closer on this bank of the river when I moved to Paringa about 17 months ago.  Over time, the water eroded away all of the soil around it bringing it crashing down about a month ago and moving it along away from the bank to where it lies in the middle of the river now!
