Morning

Today I am simply content to be alive. I woke up at 5:30, went to the store at 6, and was at work by 7:05. Not bad. As I unloaded my groceries in the parking lot, this fabulous cooling breeze came up and blew through my cotton tee and I had the moment I look forward to everytime this year:

Fall is a-comin'.

Yessir, ladies and gents, Fall is on her way, and I am STOKED!!! Of course I'm fully aware that it's supposed to be 85 today, tomorrow, and Labor Day, but hey - I can't help knowing what I know. They've started planting the fall foilage that spruce up the company fronts: tall wheat with greeny-gold stalks and their little toe-heads, low shrubs, and a few hardy pansies in deep violet and maroon. The rabbits aren't babies anymore, but they still love to host mock-fights on the soft grass under the pines, then sleepily curl up and nibble grass while dozing off in the sun. Too. Freakin. Cute.

Colorado is gorgeous right now. Fall especially loves this state, and my arms are open and waiting.

Come on, Fall. You're my LADY!!!
