Bring on fall

It starts with that nip in the morning air – we turn on the heater in the car to go to work and the AC when we come home.

The water bill goes down and the heating bill starts going up.

Then there’s that different smell in the air as the leaves turn red and yellow, cheering football fans, Oktobrewfest, bugling elk and then State Football and State Volleyball.

Next thing you know the little goblins are running from house to house getting treats, grandma is roasting that perfect turkey for Thanksgiving and before you know it, Christmas is knocking on your door.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve discovered a lot of this just runs together, you know?

I have no idea where summer went. My mind is telling me its still the 4th of July. Oh, and those New Year’s resolutions? HAHAHA!

But you know what’s wonderful? Its now that time of year when its OK for me to snuggle in my big chair with my kitties and watch football games. Taking a nap in the afternoon isn’t frowned upon so much when its snowing.

I can bake banana bread and cinnamon rolls and all those comfort foods without worrying about heating up the house. I can spend the weekend in my favorite sweatshirt.

Come on fall, bring it on!
