It’s my favorite season.  Right now the leaves on the trees around here are turning all sorts of beautiful colors.  The nights are a little chilly—cool enough for a jacket, but not so cold that you can’t sleep with the windows open.  I’m happy to take out the long-sleeved shirts again, even if it’s almost Continue Reading
