Wide-Plank Wood Floors, Clean Plates, and "Rainbow Trees"

Aren't these the perfect words to go with my Three Beautiful Things posts?  

This week's Three Beautiful Things:

1.  The old wide-plank wood floors in my bedroom creak and bounce a little when walked upon.  I love them.  They remind me of the other people who walked there before me.  

2.  The big boy asked, "How many bites do I have to eat?", purely out of habit.  He then proceeded to finish everything on his plate once he realized he actually liked the food.  A clean plate is a beautiful thing, especially when it was full of asparagus, potatoes, and haddock.  

3.  When driving the kids the other morning, the big boy looked at the trees lining a beautiful lake and exclaimed "Look Mom!  The trees are like a rainbow!  They're all the beautiful colors that I love!"  I've said it before and I'll say it again....there's nowhere better in the world to be than New England in the Fall.
