Sliding into fall

I have been SO distracted by fall!

I usually look warily at this season as the sad killer of summer + dreaded precursor to winter.

But.

This year, I am in love with the season.

Lots of bird-watching from various windows, playtime with the girl, reading on the sun porch, apple picking (and birthday-celebratin') with northern family. Even a night out with the man.

Good times. (Look out - I may have just jinxed us into an early winter!)
