Leaves thinning out

The trees are starting to look bare. On the plus side, it opens up the view.

I received a heart melting little voice message from grandchild number 2 this afternoon, saying he'd like to speak to me. He has a birthday coming up and I had asked his mum for present ideas. Unbeknown to his mother he took matters into his own hands. His directions as to how to order his gift online came with his nearly-8-year-old conviction that he knows how to do these things and Nana might not.
