It Is August 8th and I am Pining for Fall

Things I am looking forward to, in no particular order:

1)  Cooler temperatures.  And maybe some rain?  Maybe?  Please? 

2)  Decorating for the holidays.  I love love love my orange, green, & brown fall decorations.  And I have cute ideas for Halloween decorations. I can't wait to start.
 
3)  Pumpkin flavored/ scented everything.  Yummers!

4)  Ferryn & Steve returning home from the lake so we can resume our weekly-ish neighborly/ family dinners.  Oooo... and then when it gets cooler, hanging out on their patio with the chiminea.  Maybe Jase Face & I should get a chiminea?

5)  A more manageable work schedule.  Too many long days, sleepless nights worrying about work this spring & summer.  Enough of that!

6)  Our fall garden.  Our spring garden kinda failed.  Big time.  Good thing each new season gives you a do-over.  And we might actually have some homemade compost to use this season!  Hooray!  Is it weird compost excites me?

7)  Spending more time with this little dude:

that I'm more than slightly totally jealous of

Cause seriously, he's cute.  We really need to make more trips up to see him.

8)  Fall TV lineup.  I need me some How I Met Your Mother and Fringe.  These corny ABC Family shows that hold me over during the summer don't do much for me.

Hmmm... I'm sure I'll have more to add to this list.  But for now, it gives me something to look forward to.  :)

You forgot...JWC fair, hunting season, northers, and Thanksgiving food. But yes, we all are ready for fall.!

I have a jack-o-lantern can. Remind me to show it to you sometime.
