the signs of Autumn

I think Autumn officially arrived at our house the other morning when I tried to get out of bed but was trapped by a mound of sleeping kitties! The temps have been comfortable during the day and chilly at night, making for perfect sleeping weather...finally. Because of this, most of our kids migrate to our warm bed throughout the night and in the morning, I'm trapped under the furry little Lilliputians! It's comforting, actually.

Vic & I are going to have to make the switch to warmer clothes soon. I've got 2 drawers of shorts, but only 1 pair of sweatpants out! What a pain dragging out totes is, but it's got to be done. I'd like to do it this weekend, but I've got lots of homework to do. My next homework-free weekend is December 13th. I think that may be too long to wait.

The trees are bursting forth with color all over the place now. I pass by a brilliant orange tree on my way to school and there are several red and yellow guys right in our own neighborhood. The whomping willow a few houses down is still pretty full, but I know it's only a matter of time before he turns into just trunk and bones. There are signs of Autumn all around us these days!

We are still about a week or so away from peak color here.

I don't even own a pair of shorts. Isn't that odd? But I spent too many years bartending and waiting tables, so my varicose veins look like road maps.
