Autumn, where are you?

Welcome to October, the beginning of my favorite time of the year. I love everything about this season. The sights, the sounds, the smells, the festivities. The only downside is this is the time when I get homesick the most. You see, Autumn is very subtle in this part of the country. There are no changing of leaves. Well, let me restate that, they change; just not to the glorious colors of gold, red and orange. That's right, they turn brown and just fall to the ground. No beauty in that! I won't complain though, the mornings have been cooler and I will just pull out all my wonderful decorations, bake a yummy loaf of pumpkin bread, light a fall candle or tart and trek through the pumpkin patch in summer heat in search of the perfect pumpkin. So Autumn, even though I can't seem to find you right now...I love you all the same.

In closing I will share a little quote that I stumbled upon today. The author is unknown but it expresses my feelings exactly.

- A best friend is a sister that destiny forgot to give you.

Until next time...
Peace,
Ann
