Free falling

Ocotillo | 10-01-10

The dramatic dip in temperatures this past week (from triple digits down to highs in the 80s) means it's really starting to feel like fall.

I love it. I am looking forward to so many things about cooler temperatures:

• pumpkin in everything
• basketball season 
• seeing kids dressed up for Halloween at work
• jackets
• long sleeves
• a heavy blanket again
• cider
• soup
• moving the air conditioner in the car off the "high" setting
• crisp evenings
• holidays anticipated everywhere

This is the only way I can deal with summer: the anticipation of fall, and wintertime.
