it’s that time of the year again…

Fall. It’s that time of the year again. My favorite season. Heavenly! That crisp nip is f.i.n.a.l.l.y in the air – that beautiful thing that comes but once a year. And you know what that means… Halloween. And then Thanksgiving. And then – then! – Christmas. And, of course, Ammon’s 2nd birthday is tossed in there somewhere (…we’re hoping that if we don’t think about that too much then it will not come…).

I know that we – the Thomases Three – are hopeful that the sweet and funky Halloween decorations of Woodburn Drive will be going up soon. Until then, we are at least enjoying our freshly-made Halloween advent calendar – and counting down the days until that most ghoulish of nights: All Hallows’ Eve.

Happy Fall to you and yours. Here’s to hoping that you can sit a bit outside, soaking up the lovely weather. Here’s to hoping that you can smell a bonfire – and maybe even roast a marshmallow. Here’s to hoping that you can find that perfect pumpkin. Here’s to hoping that you can crack out your sweaters. Here’s to hoping that you can devour some chili and candy and apple cider – or at least some pumpkin pie smothered in cool whip. Here’s to hoping that you can build up a store of this Fall-ish goodness – enough to last you the whole year through.
