Summer is officially over. For me, that is. Yes, I've finally accepted that cooler weather is here to stay and by mind power and will power alone I cannot prolong my favorite season. So, I accept that it's fall. (I have trouble with change, here... cut me some slack.)
I will revel in autumn's loveliness and embrace the crisp breezes.
And I will rake all 803, 719 leaves.
But most of all, as I unashamedly skip through the fall holidays (Thanksgiving, Hallowe'en, yadda yadda yadda), I look forward to that which (almost) makes winter bearable: Christmas.
You might have noticed that in saying goodbye to summer I've added a Christmas counter.
Because that is the next best thing.
I don't want the autumn to speed by; I want to savor every moment of anticipation and preparation for Christmas. The fun of decorating, planning, even the occasional baking.... Most of all, though, I love the surprises that are in store for my little man.
That is what is going on in the wacky little mind of me.
I love Christmas too.
