19 November 2023:
Things that made me happy on my walk through my neighborhood, in order of appearance, on a truly beautiful autumn day:
- A very cute family raking leaves. This family is consistently cute, but it was off the charts today: the oldest boy was actually working next to his dad. The younger boy had a toy rake and was “helping” clean out a flowerbed. The baby girl—old enough to sit up, but not to crawl too far—sat on her bum and played with a few leaves. Top-notch cuteness.
- A dad and his Taylor-Swift-shirt-clad daughter tossing a football. Casual, not too far apart, not too dramatic. Just having fun.
- My friends’ boys, outside their house, playing on a skateboard. These kids (there are three total—two boys and a girl) are terrific, but I am always so delighted when they wave at or talk to me when I walk by. I feel like I don’t have enough little kids in my life these days, so I am grateful for their friendliness.
- Three cats outside a house whose owners feed a big group of ferals (a calico, a solid black, and an orange tabby) basking in the sun—laying, rolling, just loving it.
