Fall!!

Temperatures have been bearable around these parts for a couple of weeks. A few of the over-achieving trees have started to turn. Yes, there are hints that my favorite, favorite season is here. And THANK GOD, I didn't think summer would ever end already. Fall, winter, spring, these are all fine by me. Summer, with its breath-stealing humidity and skin-burning death rays, and, perhaps worst of all, shorts, is completely for the birds. I always look forward to its end with glee.

I really know Fall's officially here, however, because I've had my very first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season, accompanied by the mandatory slice of pumpkin bread. Mmmmm-mmmm, damn tasty stuff.
