{This Moment} Backyard Playtime

Not many words today. I simply want to remember this moment with her in the late afternoon sun, playing among the dried leaves in the back yard.

*One sock on, one sock off. That's because we lost the right gray sock within two minutes of being outside. And it just so happened to be the exact color of undersides of dried leaves. The search was hopeless. Maybe tiny, furry animals will crowd in to use it for warmth, a la the famous Ukrainian folktale, "The Mitten."  I thought this was fitting considering this is the Christmas book Maylin is getting this year.*
