Leaving our house for school one morning I pointed out the white shadow of the almost full moon that hung in the bright blue sky. Ten minutes and a few miles later, after we got into a wide opening after weaving through city streets with tree cover that had blocked the sky, Wren looked out her window and happily exclaimed,
"Oh look! The moon's going to school too!"

We were driving home from Grand Marais in early September and there were just a few trees here and there that were starting to change colors. The great majority were still green, but the ones that were changing had some tiny fire red spots on them that were very noticeable.
Wren pointed and said "They're turning into flowers!!" about the bright red patches.
Yippee!! Fall was arriving and yes, it is when the trees turn into gorgeous flowers here. Particularly this year, which had spectacular color that hung on the trees for months, across Minnesota!
