First fall

Fall is officially here. This season is beautiful but never fails to make me feel melancholy and nostalgic for some reason. It used to be all about starting a new school year, but it's been a while since I was a student. But then I remember that it's Jack's first fall. And there will be more school books, school supplies, sweaters, and the excitement that comes with fall when Jack is older and starts his academic life. But for now, we just get to watch the season change and marvel at it all. Tonight, we took a stroll in the park and played at the playground. It was simply marvelous.
