Wonder Fall!

Today was the most perfect fall day!  The air was crisp, the sun was warm, our puppy played ball until he was tired, and the leaves fell gently to the ground.  It was a nice transition from the high of 50 degrees that we had experienced the day before!  My body typically needs a transition into the cold weather, and the sudden turn in temperatures threw me for a complete loop and had me wondering how I was going to survive the winter.  Fortunately, I was reminded today that while we have bid farewell to summer and our days are growing shorter, we do still have one of the best times of the year to experience!  Ladies and Gents, fall is upon us!

In addition to the most perfect fall day yet, we also updated our centerpiece to get a bit more into the fall spirit:

(I would just like to state for the record that while I have been accused of being akin to Martha Stewart this does not represent my interior decorating skills as well as it could have.  I could definitely use some centerpiece lessons... And, while we are on the topic (kind of) of who I have been accused of being, Monk is also on that list.  Both accusations were from my very best friend, Tamara, who sometimes knows me better than I do, so there probably is some truth in both.)

The forecast for the remainder of the week is for temperatures to gradually increase into the upper 70's, lower 80's.  Perhaps we've got a little Indian summer on it's way, but if not, we welcome fall with open arms!
