Fall

Today, the temperature hit the low 80s, and I sat on my back deck and studied in the sun and the breeze without melting. When I took the dog out tonight, there was just the slightest hint of chill in the air--enough for a jacket, but only just. It's the kind of weather that speaks of apple cider and harvest fairs and backyard bonfires and football games and bold beautiful colors on trees and I love it so, so much. It puts me at peace with the world after the heat and bustle of summer.

Fall has always been my favorite time of year
