Fall has found me!

Wow! It's officially FALL! YEA! Love the cool weather (that's mid-80s in Texas)! My dogs are jumping around like they are teenagers and they are not spring chickens... not in dog years!



My teenager is jumping around because he's always jumping around... and even my husband has a spring in his step.



Even though it's still not cool weather - there is a feeling of FALL.. It's when you hear about a cool front... and the wind that accompanies it is ACTUALLY cool. It's when the sun is bright, and the shade is deep... when my fall tomatoes start to bloom (didn't have time to plant any this year)... when your Friday night dance card is full with high school football... and if you are a mom like me, you've volunteered for concession stand duty on the other nights!



FALL is a time to gear up for the winter. That means shopping for new fall clothes or dragging out the old wardrobe to see what might survive one more season! Maybe a new do... or correcting the summer frizzies.



For Texans, FALL means the State Fair of Texas - which opened last weekend ... Hey if you go be sure and visit the Food and Fiber Pavilion and taste some awesome pickles provided by in a pickle foods. They are a new client of mine and I tell you those pickles are INCREDIBLE... a little bit sweet and incredibly spicy... kinda like FALL.



Ahh... there's homecoming and Halloween and the Cowboys in the new stadium... and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Texas Rangers... WOW - FALL has found me.



So bring on the cooler nights, the cooler mornings - the deep shade, the bright days -and let autumn begin!
