Last week the smoke from all the fires descended and with it our ability to get outside even to open the windows. The air quality was off the top of the chart bad.  It sucked. We struggle in the harvest season with air quality as it has a lot of gluten with the harvest. Air being bad I ended up a sinus infection ear infection on the edge of lung infection mess for a few days. Kids schooling was at a fend for yourself feral level 

Now the air is better they sky is blue. The windows are open and we got out today. 

Our morning was spent inside as I watch a couple of little folk early usally my two are sleeping when they get dropped sometimes they dont wake up till they leave. (must be nice) then I started sorting our library. 

How many copies of Make way for ducklings do you have we have at least 3. I mean We love the story we have been to see the statues (omg they are so tiny eek) However I think we can let a few go.

 Same with my personal books I have a few that are doubles a few I don’t like enough to read again so  away they go. Working on being a more organized less chaos person. Long journey .anyway..

Our afternoon was lovely. We went for a walk in the park and saw the start of leaves changing. Found a bunch of ladybugs and turttles. It was so neat they were so engaged and happy and looking and just the calm that was over them being in nature was fantastic. It lasted about 10 minutes after we got home and everyone got grumpy and cranky. Still there was a moment when they were using the big map in the park to find out where they could find quaking aspen trees. when it felt like YES we are doing the right thing. 

then as if that wasnt cool enough came home to our sunflower in bloom and a big pumpkin on our fence.
