Autumn…
The weather has cooled slightly here and it seems to be getting dark a bit earlier. Everyone has been putting on light jackets in the morning as the temps are in the mid-60’s. By the afternoon we are in the low to mid-80’s and it is beginning to hit home that summer is on it’s way out for another year.
Ethan, Maggie and I have been down with a head cold (the first of the season) for the past several days. Ethan is just about over it, Maggie and I still seem to have some congestion. Green tea and crystallized vitamin C from Trader Joe’s has worked wonders! Kate and Mike have escaped becoming infected and I’m convinced it’s because the two of them hid out at Mike’s office ALL day Saturday. She played games on one computer and Mike worked on appraisals on another. All the while, Ethan juggled Maggie, as he was nearly over his cold. I was just coming down with it so Saturday was pretty much a blur of feverish naps and cold medication.
While I can find something to love about every season, fall and winter are probably my favorites. I love the cooler temps and fall colors. About this time of year I begin to grow tired of salads and barbecue, there is just nothing like cold weather cuisine. I’ve missed roast beef, stew, and home made minestroni soup.
Pretty soon it will be time to do a final cleanout before we close the house up and turn the heater on. Then the pumpkins and Halloween decorations will be out, and before I know it I’ll be digging out Christmas decorations in no time at all. I can’t wait!
Sunday we pulled out Disney’s “The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow” narrated by Bing Crosby. I swear that thing gets better every time I watch it. This year Maggie was old enough to really pay attention to it and she absolutely loved it! She danced and even tried to sing along. It was so funny!
