The calendar may not declare it, but to me, fall has arrived on our doorstep. And yes, I am inviting him in! I have recently planted colorful mums on our terrace and opened up the windows to allow the crisp, cool breeze flow through our tiny apartment. In addition to purchasing the mums, I also spent a little money on an autumn-scented candle, a bag of orchard apples, and ingredients for a hot bowl of chili. There's nothing like snuggling on the couch, watching football, and eating a spicy bowl of chili with a cold glass of apple cider. This is what fall is all about for me.

Although most people flee from the cold weather to warmer climates, I am looking forward to experiencing the four, distinct seasons again. It has been three years since I have watched the leaves change at one time, trudged through a foot of snow, and emerged from the bitter cold to see the earth come back to life with lilies and tulips. I missed these moments in Texas and am looking forward to cherishing them this round. Plus, I now have PDub and Maya to share these memories with.

| There's no autumn without bonfires, s'mores, ghost stories, and weenies! |
