Aaah, fall. Now it's the time of year where things get fun. Don't get me wrong, I adore summer, it's my favorite season from a weather aspect. I love when it's so blistering hot and how wonderful it feels to have all day to do anything because it doesn't get dark until late. But Fall is the start of things to do! A time where the house is decorated differently every month, special foods that are only made this time of year are baked, time to go lots of different festivals, just fun stuff. Tabitha loves the changing of seasons, today she was very excited to learn it was now fall, but then she immediately wanted to go into the backyard to jump in leaves, lol. Sadly (for her anyway) we live in land of warm weather. All we have are evergreen trees and trees that stay green a long time, then dry and turn brown, then we have bare branches. We don't get colors save for one tree you might see every now and then planted by the city in an effort to class up the median on busy streets. Anyway, so today we had a nice fallish dinner of brown rice and tomato soup. Of course, it was 90 today so we also had Otter Pops, lol. In 8 days we'll start decorating for Halloween. We already have Tabitha's costume, she'll be Blossom from the Power Puff Girls. So, we're ready for the good time!
