Some Fall Days

Some fall days start with a yummy breakfast.

Some fall days continue on with a country store open house outing solely to stock up on snow heads.

Some fall days include the Utz factory outlet to stock up on Cheese Balls and Chocolate Covered Pretzels.

Some fall days require you to do the insane - like trying out the brand new outlets in Clarksburg, MD with the other 500,00 people that also thought it was a good idea.

Some fall days allow you to purchase a new winter coat for $39,99 but worry you that you may get cursed by the gods since you didn't inform the cashier that the price was supposed to be twice that cost.

Some fall days let you hang with your family and your friends all day.

And some fall days end with a trip to Target and some Starbucks hot tea.

End of Summer Bummer

Don't get me wrong, I'm a BIG fan of long weekends.  But it would be so much better if this weekend marked the beginning of summer as opposed to the end of summer - most especially this summer.  I think today may have been the hottest day we've had all season. What the heck?  It finally gets warm then September starts.

I like Fall and all but really, can't we just have a little more summer?

Falling Behind

Tonight is that dreaded night where everyone in America (except Arizona for some reason...) turns their clock back an hour.  In theory this falling back, is much easier than springing forward since we gain a whole hour of sleep, but in reality it's just not.  This evening it was already dark as night at 6:30.  Isn't that enough?  Why do we now need to make it dark as night at 5:30?  Not sure about you but my brain tells me to go to bed when it starts getting dark, and it doesn't shut up even though it's darker earlier.

Only 7 months 'til Summer sunlight late into the evening is back again...
