What I love about fall: My thoughts turn from gardening to snuggling up in front
of a warm crackling fire, a good book and
mug of hot chocolate piled high with whipped cream...
When it's still 80 degrees and it feels and smells like fall... The sound
of the school bus ambling down our street on the first day
of school stopping at the corner to pick the precious cargo
of squealing kids... As I walk through our yard hearing the crunch
of crackling leaves... Chunky winter sweaters - every September I buy a new one... Watching our resident squirrels scurrying around our yard gathering and burying their winter stash... Replacing summer flowers with purple and white cabbages.
