Happy First Day of Autumn!
Summer is struggling to hang on, reaching into 80 degrees today, but for the most part it feels like Fall is here to stay. The trees are turning, the light is becoming softer and more golden, and I could smell burning leaves this afternoon. The true mark of Autumn is that feeling I get, as though my heart becomes a little more tender. I think it corresponds to said golden light and the chill in the air. Is it just me, or is that perhaps what truly calls us to Fall?
And of course, a couple photos:
Nathan's mama sent a box of goodies, and we didn't wait long to whip up some peanut clusters. It hasn't taken long for them to disappear from the freezer, either. Thanks, Melinda. :)
Nathan has expert skills in peanut clustering.
I was excited to hang out in the bleachers and be the albeit silent cheering section at Nathan's kickball game this week. It was darn cold, but I was glad to watch The Wet Bandits kick the opposition to the curb.

There are some great things happening in the sky tonight...the Autumnal Equinox occurs overnight, which means it is the Harvest Moon. Sure enough, the moon is bright and clear, and you can even see Jupiter.
Welcome, welcome Fall.
