Day 8

Things I saw on a walk today:
  • Sunshine - for the first time in at least a week
  • Massive piles of leaves at the curbs - these were very tempting!
  • A pre-teen (tween?) girl on what seemed to be an electric mini Vespa - seriously, what the hell, suburbs? My parents wouldn't even let me get a Power Wheels when I was little.
  • Bedraggled ghosts and scarecrows from Halloween
  • Lonely pumpkins discarded in a cardboard box at the curb
  • People putting up Christmas lights and decorations
  • Leafblowers: 3, Rakers: 3 - I am cheered by this; I didn't think anyone raked their leaves anymore
  • Neon stakes on either side of driveways in preparation for snowplow season
  • A dead squirrel laying face-up on the sidewalk... directly underneath some power lines
