Fall-ish-ness

Today was one of those nearly-perfect days. Pretty blue sky. Temps too warm for October and too warm for my taste, but at least not scorchingly hot like it's been. O home with me. A nice lunch with my mom and dad. Playing with kitties and a cute one-eyed pup. Leaves crunching under our feet. Huge yellow mums planted on the porch. Pumpkins placed - well -EVERYWHERE. O's grandmother's old green wheelbarrow filled with pumpkins and mums rolled into our front yard. Football on the TV. An autumn spice candle burning in the front room. BBQ in the crockpot and a homemade apple pie bubbling away in the oven. Good friends over to help cheer our team to victory. Boy oh boy do I love fall.
