Thoughts on Fall....

Fall has definitely arrived in Seattle.I have mixed thoughts regarding fall. Back in Michigan it meant that winter was coming and snowy cold weather was approaching. Here is Seattle it means rain and clouds that lead to more rain and more clouds. Not much to look forward too. I love all the changing colors and the crisp cool weather....football watching, candy corn and sweater weather. But once the leaves have fallen and the rain has be drizzling for a couple of weeks the cold, winter weather is here. Snow isn't guaranteed here, and Christmas lights look silly with rain instead of snow. The weather isn't super cold but it definitely is not pleasant.

So here's to the good part of fall...I am hoping it lasts....a long time!
