AUTUMNAL!!

This has been just the IDEAL first weekend of October! Was it really around 80 just on Wednesday? Yesterday was cloudy and brisk and in the 50s during the DAY! Today was milder and eventually sunny, but still seemed Octoberish. The leaves are finally changing, too...and crunching under your feet. Let's not forget it's darker later in the morning, for those of us who detest dawn's early light. It's all just great! Perhaps the surest sign of autumn...I lit a candle last night for the first time since like April...which is lit again now. The scent? PUMPKIN PIE! The house is cool, sleeping with a warm blanket is again the norm, i'm wearing long comfy pants and a flannel shirt, and I made biscuits for dinner. I'm now enjoying Breyer's double-churned vanilla ice cream (double-churned being the only type of Breyer's worth your money) and I think my 7th cup of hot tea today. MMMM!! Don't you wish you were here? Sure you do...only i'm glad you're not. Being ALONE is the icing on the cake of this fantastic AUTUMNAL weekend!!
