I love Autumn!!!  It is my all time favorite season.  Though the sun is beating down with the intensity of August, I can feel Autumn is on it's way.  I love how things begin to fall asleep...the trees changing colors and the sun too tired to reach it's highest point in the sky before coming down again.  The girls want to stay in and do schoolwork.  And there is the anticipation of the first chilly day...and I can have a fire in my fireplace.  Things seem more calm in the fall.

I don't hate seeing summer go.  We had a really good summer.  Camping, swimming, travelling.  We got to go to Montana and see family.  My folks and my brother and his family.  Spending a few days up on Flathead Lake with my brother, sister-in-law and nephews was the best part of our summer.  And now comes the fun season....Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas!   I love pumpkins and scary movies, turkey dinner, Christmas trees, nativities...everything about Christmas.

So school has started and life gets very busy...but this is still my favorite time of year!!
