it's fall!

I so enjoy this weather. The leaves are already red and yellow, and every once in a while I can get a wiff of somebody's wood-burning fireplace. Our fireplace is gas, so that makes it clean and easy (which I like!). It loses a bit of authenticity, but I'll take it. I still get flames and I still get warmth. Only, no soot.

The temperature, as usual, is a bit wiggy. Some days coldish, some days warmish. Still, not HOT which is great.

Anyway, took a little walk with the poochie while everyone was asleep, and enjoyed the crisp early morning, and really paid attention to the squirrels and pine cones falling.* Ah, nature.

*This hippie moment brought to you by me, in a pensive, caffeine-free state. I'm off to make some cuban coffee to rectify that.
