what I'm listening to today but not necessarily tomorrow

I love fall... when I can forget what follows it






Today I just have to write about how gorgeous it is out there. It's about 5 degrees C and there is the warmest sun filling my kitchen.


Yesterday we all went to the river to bask in this warmth and everyone agreed that it was an awesome afternoon... something we just need to go out and do more often. This really was an odd year for September/ October weather.... with freezing cold and snow coming sooner than usually and gypping us of all the fall colors and beauty. The leaves went into shock up there, waiting for the cool air to transform them. Instead we are left with dark green dead leaves hanging on with all they have left. So I completely missed taking the wonderful pictures in my backyard of the kids rolling in the yellow, orange, and red leaves.
Now that Halloween is over the flyers that litter my mailbox are filled with Christmas gift ideas, holiday decorations, and there is red and green everywhere. I am getting excited for the Christmas madness but not for snow and cold. Today is just perfect.... and I am not going to spoil it by thinking about wind chills.
