October finally turned cold, bringing back the season where nothing feels better than curling up under flannel sheets and a wool quilt. And if an overweight cat decides to share the bed, so much the better!

We've had an unreal stretch of nice weather. The leaves stayed ON the trees for maybe 2-3 weeks. Just a few days ago, we got our first breezy day, and down came half my leaves. Then a couple days later, almost all the rest fell.

Walking to my mailbox just got interesting. I'm crunching through a good feet of leaves on my way to the corner and back. :)

It's that one fall week where it's cool, but not too cool, hot, but not too hot, blue skies all week and some awesome colors. Taking the coffee on the deck on mornings such as this makes me wonder why I worry about anything at all.
