Well, a week of crisp fall-is-just-arriving weather is drawing to a close. My front porch has a pot of yellow pansies, a pumpkin, and a small yellow and green squash to bring my house in line with the new season. And today also marked the day of reaching my pinacle of comfort food - the first peppermint mocha.
I love this time of year. Acorns are raining down with their little caps ajar. The nights are chilly making me burrow deep under the covers. Sweaters come out of hiding. Apples abound at the farmers market. What are your favorite fall things?

Nothing better than when the sweaters and turtlenecks come out of hiding. It's cool enough in the evenings now that I had to pull out Seamus's selection of sweaters and jackets too! He's not thrilled...As for foods of fall, it has to be apple cider and cinnamon-sugar donuts, preferably outdoors in the midst of piles of brightly-colored leaves. An autumn wonderland...
The cute GW Boys Ultimate Frisbee Team starts its fund raising campaign around LaFayette Park - brightening my morning commute.
