Fall is in the Air

Finally the air is starting to feel cooler, thank goodness! I was starting to think we were going to just skip fall and go straight to winter. Is that possible? Anyway...glad that the evenings are colder and the days seem to be not as hot. I can finally start to get more things done. That hot weather just takes it out of me. I can't seem to fight through it like I used to be able to do. Plus, the air conditioning is just too hard to leave and go into a super hot garage and work. Yuk! 

I have a bizzillion things on my list, which usually means that I won't be able to get everything done that I want to, but I will have to start somewhere, and if the list is long it somehow makes it easier for me to pick and choose the things that need to get done first? That probably only makes sense to me?

 Oh well..October is not usually my favorite month. Halloween always is a hard holiday for me to enjoy for some reason. Maybe as a child my mother didn't let me have the candy or something , I 'm not really sure why its never been a fave, but I never look forward to it. This year we will be leaving a few days before and going to Utah for our first Granddaughter's(Raeley) Baptism.Which will be on Halloween day in the morning. She will definitely remember her Baptism day for the rest of her life! Funny that it has to be on that day? But it is. So it will be a different Halloween for us this year than it the past.We'd better take all our warm clothes though its already snowed in Utah, it could be an early winter? We will be in Utah so all the cousins will be trick or treating together, which will be a first. That will be really fun for them, they don't get to see each other that often. It will also be fun for me because Shelby will be coming up to it also. We will be missing Scott& Ashley though due to them not being able to get off work. But working is good. I haven't seen Shelby since we dropped her off in August and it will be nice to give her a hug. I know thats just a mom thing. Hard when those babies leave home no matter how old they are, it still takes some time to get used too!

 I love Fall, the leaves turn color (although here in Ca not very many trees turn color) the weather changes, it gets dark earlier(which I hate) Things slow down a bit. I love the fall because I can start making soups again. I love a good bowl of soup. And trying new recipes is fun...especially on Sundays when we have the family over. I'm not sure that they always appreciate my skills as a chef, although I haven't heard much from them on the whole dislike thing, they could do the cooking?
