Autumn is my favorite time of year. I just love the crispness in the air and the way it smells. I love cuddling up with soup or hot cocoa and an afghan or quilt and a good book or movie. I was beginning to think such things didn't exist in my new "world" (Punk thinks of every place we have lived as it's own world. Hence questions like, "Are there dinosaurs in this world?"), but fall has arrived. Quite suddenly, in fact. Last week, I was wondering if we'd ever be able to put the shorts away. Then, Saturday, when we'd planned to take the kiddinkidinks to the pumpkin patch (thankfully, I didn't tell them that!), it rained allllllll day and was about 61 degrees. But, Sunday and today have been beautifully sunny and a crisp 65. I'm wearing cords as I write this and pulled out the wrap my mom knitted for me this morning. I always have a hard time getting out of bed, but it was so snuggly warm this morning and my nose was delightfully chilled. I just had to bask in it. Pea wore tights to preschool this morning (absolutely darling!) and we had to try on a few pairs of jeans to find some for Punk that were long enough, but small waisted enough (most of his now are adjustable waist and they look so funny because they're hugely baggy everywhere else!). I love, love, love it! YAAAAAAY Fall!
