sweet, sweet, October

People swoon over October.  And rightfully so.  Crispy golden leaves.  Fresh, humid free hair.  Warm enough days and cool window open nights.  A world filled with pumpkin spiced everything (did I see pumpkin spiced dog treats at Trader Joe's yesterday, yes I did).  Fall is a brief time to let go of summer and escort in the best season of all, winter.
 Well, that's what fall was like in every other place I lived.  I grew up in Upstate, NY, I lived in Boston, and have traveled all over New England.  New England wins fall, there is no debating it.  I mean people go on vacation to see trees change color.  Lincoln and Kansas City have fall too, it's not as spectacularly beautiful but it is very welcome after a long hot humid summer.  

I don't live in any of those places anymore.  I haven't worn socks or pants since.... 
I think it was 87* today, which is considered cool.  We went to the beach this morning.


I decided to take inspiration from the L.M. Montgomery quote in Anne of Green Gables and make my own warm weather version. 



Cheers to fall!
