What a Wonderful World...

I. Love. Fall. Favorite season hands down. Halloween is a big factor, but nothing can beat the changing leaves and crisp air and sweaters...oh my, I just love it all.

Though I must confess, it's going to be hard to see Summer go. Not that it's ever easy, but I'm not looking forward to letting go of the sound of lawn mowers or bright green grass or eating outside...ugh, my heart just aches thinking about it. Luckily it's been quite balmy the past few weeks which has allowed the feeling of Summer to linger and bit longer. I talked with my neighbor this morning in the shade of her maple tree, I drive with the windows down, I marvel at how beautiful and warm the light is at dusk (my favorite time of day). And my goodness, don't we just live in such a beautiful place? How can you not swell with gratitude when the world is bathed in that sunny light?

In a way it feels that Summer just got here, it's not fair for it to leave so soon...

...but we sure enjoyed it while it stayed.
