It's getting colder!

Hello everybody!

It is reading week at school, which means that we get a week of no classes. We're supposed to use the week to catch up on work that we need to do. I, so far, haven't been good about that, but I'm enjoying the week to relax. Now, it is time to get to work, so it will be okay!

More importantly it is October which means the weather cools off and we can enjoy the cool air and the changing leaves. I love it! There is something refreshing about walking outside and feeling the crisp in the air. The cool air fills my lungs and my soul feels refreshed. Besides a cup of coffee on a brisk morning is one of the most delightful things in the world. You know it is the simple things in life that make it so wonderful.

I just realized that I love the weather regardless of the season. I love it when it gets warmer in the spring. I love it when the summer heats up and there is so much we can do outside (plus a cold drink on a hot day is glorious). I love the winter and the prospect of snow. But I have to say that fall might be my favorite. Plus, my birthday is in the fall, my anniversary and my lovely wife's birthday is in the fall. The fall is an exciting time for me and my family. Oh, and Halloween is a fun time as well. It's fun to dress up and play pretend for a while. Adults should get this opportunity more often.

Enjoy the cooler weather, the warm drinks and sweaters and jackets!
