Fall is most definitely here

Last week Brett took advantage of another time-honored holiday enjoyed only by government employees and bankers. Veterans' Day. Yes, while the rest of the country was hard at work and wondering why their mailboxes were empty, half of the city of Charlotte had a play day. We went to one of the huge parks here and enjoyed the paths and picnic tables and playgrounds.
Another fall favorite is the leaf pile. We've got some very large, very leafy trees in our yards that make for great leaf-jumping.
In case you were wondering, most of those leaves are still there. It's a week-long process.
