Fall, Schmall

Yankee Candle Harvest Wreath burning brightly
Eating delicious soup by the ladle-ful
Long sleeves coupled with your favorite pair of blue jeans
Drinking an afternoon cup of coffee or tea just because it's cool outside
Hanging Fall decorations in preparation for Halloween and Thanksgiving
Watching the landscape change colors
Bundling up with a blanket to keep your toesies warm
Sitting around a campfire, roasting marshmallows
The air fresh, the wind crisp, a quickness to your walk
Making your lists of things to do, people to see, places to be
As Fall does seem to be the busiest time of year
However, when Fall looks like this in your part of the world, you just want to tell the calender to #$%^ off and leave you alone:
I long for cooler weather.

Oh my fucking god! Thank you!!!! I am so sick of this freakin' heat!!!! NOBODY else gets this- remember in March when people were like, "oh, I wish I could be outside playing with my kids" and we were like "yeah, this is the end of it, bitch!" Now it's OCTOBAFUCKINGER and we are just now getting back outside.
But I digress... love ya!

So you should move by me. Lows in the 40's highs maybe in the 60s right now. I HATE IT! I long for it to be warm, lol

I am so glad that we have been able to get rid of the heat! It has been mid 60's (which I absolutely LOVE), with no humidity, and low 40's at night! AWESOME! Hey girl, you need to come to KY! My doors always open!
