It is fall, It is chilly and I am sick. I am happy about the first two things. When I got home from my trip I went home to see my family. There is no better place for fall I think than Northern New England. Everything, and I mean everything was orange, red and yellow. I took my nephew, who is one and the love of my life, to a corn maze and the pumpkin farm. They had a whole village set up of playhouses- a log cabin playhouse, a stable playhouse, a jail playhouse, a farm playhouse. It was great, he is just starting to say No and learning to be a little bit naughty. His new favorite game is running up to Koko, my pug, and "tickling" him then running away on his wobbly legs, screeching and roaring with laughter thinking that Koko is going to get up and chase him, but he never does. Anyway he tried to do this to the farm animals at the corn maze- the bunnies and sheep and Pygmy goats mainly. He thought it was hilarious and thought it was a riot. He wakes you up in the morning or from naps by petting your face and singing "lalala". I take him to playgrounds and run him down the dirt road at full speed in his little tykes buggy car. There is nothing better than being the favorite Aunt.
I took this picture on my way "home" from home, back down to the city anyway. Hours in the car with just me and Koko and my ipod. We stopped in the White Mountains of NH for a little break and discovered this path.
Hopefully I will be better soon, I grew up under the strict values that being sick is no excuse for not going to work, and I have a lot of work to be at the next few days so we shall see. I am enjoying having cancelled my plans to wine and dine and shop with friends today. My tea, and my current book and my bed are so much more inviting. Let's keep it on the DL though!
