Favorite Things

I love this time of year. Except for the occasional heavy rainfall - late summer/early fall is usually crisp and dry and sunny. Its getting cool enough to wear nice sweaters, but you can still feel the sun on your face and wear shorts sometimes in the afternoons. It is perfect walking weather - which we love to do a lot of. The leaves change and it is so beautiful...even the flowers are red and orange and golden. Mid-September to mid-October is like a long golden twilight before the cozy darkness of winter sets in. Here, we are at Topaz park one evening after dinner with our long shadows.
