Gale Force...

Autumn is here in a big way. It is hard to believe it but the season officially changed here on August 1st... but we are just feeling the effects now. Last week was a beautiful sunny time and I kept wishing that I had a pair of shorts to wear... but now we are running our heaters and electric blanket. We have even had a fire in the fireplace the last couple of nights.... brrrrr.. The winds have been at gale force (around 65 MPH right now) the last couple of days which makes the rain sound like hail as it hits the windows. To be honest with you I'm not really sad to see the seasons change... don't get me wrong, I love the sun and heat of summer... but autumn is a time where things slow down.. classes start up... and we get to spend time with many of our friends that were very busy during the summer.
