I Love Fall!

Okay, it's not officially fall yet, but I want to be on record as saying that it is my FAVORITE SEASON! How could it not be? Fall means:

• Beautiful fall colors
• Long drives through the mountains to see the fall colors
• Buying fresh apples from an orchard in Eastern Washington
• Sunny days, cool nights
• New TV season
• Pumpkins
• Pumpkin spice lattes
• Pumpkin soup
• Pumpkin picking (are you sensing a theme here?)
• Pumpkin carving
• Those little creamy pumpkin candies
• The first frost
• Looking forward to the holidays
• Anticipating the first snow and ski season
• An excuse to buy new clothes and boots
• My son's first Thanksgiving preschool play
• Running just for fun when my Oct. 5 marathon is OVER
• Running in the rain (yes, I love to do this)
• Electing a new president
• Returning to agility trials with Max
• Finishing my second book

Yeah, I could go on and on...but you get the picture.
