It was yesterday, as I write this, and our lawn was covered in an early morning frost. Making things more fun, as far as my girls were concerned, is that the lawn is still blanketed by a lovely layer of huge Poplar leaves. The large, crunchy leaves, adorned by exquisite frost, proved too much of a temptation for my little ladies to ignore. And so it was that one father, two girls, and six feet crunched around the yard for a few moments for no particularly productive reason. We could see our breath; and since we were all intentionally silent, we could hear nothing but crunching. My wife and son came out a few moments later, and we all loaded up into the vehicle and went about our day. But whatever I did that day, I could, from time to time, still hear the lovely sound of crunching leaves under our feet. There is something so incredibly precious about family time, mostly because there is something so precious about family.
