Jeans and jackets yesterday, shorts and t-shirts tomorrow.  We have a lot of leaves coming down, and some colors just beginning to burst.  If you really want to see an amazing tree (not to mention one cute kid and creative mom!), head over to my friend Julie’s blog post for today.

A highlight of the week, the trash trucks.  And yes I did say trucks, plural.  All eight of them.  Or so it seems.  For gas to be $4/gallon, I would have never thought a small city town such as this could afford to have all these different trash trucks roaming around every week.  First we have the trash truck that picks the big rolling bin with a claw on the side of his truck.  If he drops a bag of trash in this process, lucky you, because he sure ain’t getting out to pick it up.  Then there’s the truck that picks up any extra rubbermaid style personal trash cans you may drag out there.  I have seen at least two or three different yard debris trucks.  I’m sure there is another recycle truck that comes around if you pay for that service.  I suppose I’m a country girl.  You just drag your yard stuff to the edge of the woods, Christmas tree included!

This is the non rolling trash bin truck with ride along guys who don’t ‘accidentally’ drop bags.  They picked up some things next door as Caleb watched (we are usually standing at the door inside), then he honked the horn at us (which sounds like a tractor trailer/fog horn).  Caleb just about jumped out of his skin.

The saddest picture you ever did see

But grinning from ear to ear two seconds later…

    Thanks for the linky love! :D I love these pictures of your boy! My, is he a cutie!! Is gas still $4 near you?? It’s about $3.47 here. That’s the cheapest I’ve seen in forever.

    Oh, the famous trash trucks.

    Twice a week we have to sit by the window and wait for them. Some days we are lucky and two come by.

    They are so used to seeing a little boy in our window that they almost always look up and wave to him. That really makes his day!
