Seasons Are a Changin'

Labor Day Weekend in Kentucky sucked this year.  On Friday and Saturday the temperature was near 100 degrees.  On Sunday and Monday the weather was much cooler and wetter.  In four days time we had a temperature swing of 40 degrees.  So much for that last cookout of summer.  But it sure made it easier for me to paint my bedroom when the weather was not trying to entice me outside.  Summer is definitely easing out gracefully and fall is rapping on the door.

Fall is my favorite season.  The air is crisp.  The leaves are changing into beautiful bursts of dark, vibrant colors...ahhhh nature's purge.  The fireplace gets used.  Chili!  Seat warmers!  School is back in session and the kids are being entertained by someone else for a change.  Bulky sweaters and over-sized hoodie sweatshirts are my fashion of choice--not for the stylish look but for the hiding of muffin tops.  Flannel sheets!  Hot chocolate with marshmallow cream.  Scarves and hats for my wanna-be-Brit fetish.   Hot stone massages.  Hot tubs keeping you cozy even when it is cool outside.  Halloween!  UK hoops!  Pumpkins for pie and jack-o-lanterns. 

Bring. It. On.
