Fall

It's my favorite time of year again, but this year I'm enjoying it in the states. I didn't realize how much I miss it here. The things I'm noticing lately are the cool temperatures in the evenings (I even shivered once last week!), the beautiful sunsets that illuminate the entire sky, FLOCKS of birds (or as the great comedian Brian Regan would say, "Flocksen of birds.")flying overhead, or assembled on power lines, big blue skies, the smell of fires in fireplaces.... I could go on. I'm really looking forward to pumpkin carving, though. Our kids have really missed that. I will definitely post pictures!

Though we're busy with speaking engagements this month, we are taking the time to just enjoy the outdoors. I think a nice drive in the country is in order.

Stacy, that picture is beautiful. Now I recognize it. That was a fun day, wasn't it? They certainly have a very positive view of life as it should be.
Lots and lots!

I'm with you, Stace!! Fall is THE most wonderful time of the year. Since I don't live where there are definite seasons, I kind of make my own fall-- by decorating my house. I think I have as many fall decorations as I do Christmas ones! As soon as it hits Sept. 22,(sometimes sooner!)out comes the fall stuff, and it doesn't leave until Thanksgiving!! Love it! (Not many homes in Huntington Beach have hay bales and pumpkins on the front porch....even cornstalks-- if I can find them!)
