Riding On Marbles


The seasons are changing. The trees are turning colors and dropping leaves and needles. As the sun rises later and sets earlier, the cool air blows through the air and sways the mighty giants. 

And as the wooden dancers follow the fall music, they make their own. Acorns drop like rain. Tapping on roofs, mobile metal monsters, concrete steps, lawn furniture, soft lawns, fallen crusty leaves, and paved streets. Even the occasional bicycle adds to the music. 


And the little grey critters scurry about grabbing every possible one for winter storage. 

But to ride across a field of acorns is like riding on marbles. Only two wheels need as much traction as possible, but these little guys move the thin tires left or right with their hard shells to juggle the ride and make balance a challenge. 

So enjoy the season change, but be careful out there.
