'Tis the Season

As I sit at my desk and look out the office window at the orange leafed tree across the way I can't help but think of how much I love the fall. The burning heat of summer is gone. Sweaters are just begging to be worn. The biting cold of Winter is still several weeks away, and snow is never in the forecast. Last night I curled up on the new couch with O'Malley and her blanket. I was tempted to start up the gas fireplace but, remembering last years gas bills, decided to wait a little longer. I finished up my popsicle and started in on the hot tea wishing to fall asleep in that perfect little comfort zone. While the Memphis fall can in no way compare to the beauty of New England's, it's still a welcome occurrence.
