It's A Wonderful Time Of The Year

I've been in three states* so far this morning. The common factor: Road construction. It's that time of year again. On the interstate, one worker even sort of jumped out in front of my car to brush something with a push broom, when I happend to be just yards away. What won't some people do for their jobs? If it was something sharp though, thanks!

The weather has been so nice this week. I just can't keep from smiling because I know what's to come.

It hasn't hurt my mood a bit that I've already seen a few signs of the coming season.
-A handful of leaves turning green to gold.
-The Better Homes and Gardens Halloween issue
-A surplus of Candy corn
-Mrs. H driving her pearl pink Mary Kay chevelle around the neighborhood.
-Chilly mornings that make you consider wearing a jacket
-The first printing of Apple Day flyers showing up in my post office box
-The mysterious old woman who never seems to poke her head outside, sitting on her porch in the early morning hours, reading the paper.
-The changing of the clothes in storefronts


It won't be long now....

*I can be in KY or OH in about 5 minutes
