It isn't even nine am as I write this blog. Yeah I usually write mine in the evening but I go to work shortly. I am sitting here with the room feeling cool and looking out the window into the yard.

Across the street the neighbor has hung up yard signs that say back to school, have fall leaves on them, and pumpkins. My father is digging out his fall collection of flags for the yard as well. The mums my next door neighbor planted last year are already growing up to a large size and will be blossoming soon. To me these are the first signs of fall.

I love the cooler temps. The chance to just go out and walk in a light jacket or sweater. To be able to enjoy the day without wanting to pass out from the heat. I think that might be one of the reasons I enjoyed school as much as I did. It meant I was done dodging the summer heat. i am more likely to be found sitting under a tree in the fall reading in the fall then out in the sun during the summer the summer. Just who I am.

I am so grateful that we are beginning to head into one of my two favorite seasons. It gives me a reason to smile and look forward again. Enjoy all.
