IT'S FALL!!!

one of the more redeeming qualities of the mond of rich (as i like to call it) is that it actually experiences what most americans refer to as seasons. now, we texans don't really understand the whole concept of four seasons because texas (well, the parts that i grew up in at least) fluctuates between "hot and humid" and "cool and grey." sometimes if we're lucky we get 3 weeks or so of both spring and fall, but most of the time summer lasts from april through october. terrible.

now richmond, on the other hand, has real fall. real fall??? what a concept! leaves turn beautiful colors and fall to the ground. mornings are cool and crisp and sound travels for miles. wow. we had a beautiful week last week where highs were in the low 70s and lows were in the 50s at night. having the option of leaving the windows open at night is such a novelty in my world. can you tell i'm excited about the seasons changing?

call me pathetic, but the onset of fall is one of the most exciting things that's going on in my world at the moment.

toodles!
