Fall Is Finally Here!

I've been waiting a long time for fall.  It's my favorite time of year.  This year, however, I had to wait a lot longer than most years.  Summer started out mild but hit us hard early August, and never really went away!  August, September and October were extremely hot months with temperatures hitting in the upper 90's and then at times climbing to triple digits.

A couple weeks ago, after being asked repeatedly by the kids, we finally decorated for Halloween amidst 90 degree weather.  It just didn't seem right.  We then took down the Halloween decorations and put out the fall decor, again with temp's in the upper 80's to low 90's.  Then all of a sudden the clouds, rain and then cold, crisp weather came.  So far it's still here and I cross my fingers that the heat is gone for a long, long time.

The trees are starting to turn color and it's starting to feel like the holidays.  Today I noticed Christmas commercials and although, I think it's rather early for that, it's a welcoming sight and feeling.  Now, I think I'll start turning on that oven and start baking yummy treats!

HAPPY FALL!
