Stasia in the leaves
With the football game over, the feast enjoyed, and the dishes finally washed—well, most of them—my grand-daughter Stasia and I finally had some time to ourselves. Had the weather been warmer, we would have certainly gone out for a hike, but today was unpleasantly cold and Stasia was fighting off a virus, so we decided to stay close to home and sample my handiwork: the giant leaf pile I'd raked for her. It's been a year since we last took a flying leap together. She hadn't forgotten exactly what to do.
