Fall

      Fall doesn't officially begin until next week, but yesterday I could see signs of it sneaking in.  Some of the trees are beginning to change... not much, but just enough that it is there.  If you are going about your daily life you may not notice as much.  In the next month, we will be able to see leaves of red, gold, brown and orange all over!  It is one of my favorite things in fall....
     The county fairs and fall festivals are in full swing, too.  Hartselle has decorated their downtown area with corn stalks and fall foliage.  One of the biggest in this area is in a small town of about 200, but will draw about a 1000 people before the day ends.  There will be a parade with people on horseback and on the backs of trucks! 
     I love fall!!  I can't wait to enjoy it all!

In Central California, you notice fall in the evenings.  After our suppertime card game we like to sit on patio before we go to our rooms.  In fall it is JUST RIGHT. Balmy, Twilight.  Summer time it too hot, and Winter is dark, rainy, and chilly. But right now, it is a good spot for a fifteen minute chat. Well, maybe a sweater will feel good.
