Fall Leaves, If It Ever Arrives!

The hubby has PROMISED to take me to Elk Park either after work this week or this weekend. When we went to see Daniel Tosh, there wasn't one damn tree on the drive that was changing color. And I was looking. I. Was. Looking.

My husband, not making a joke, said, "Hey, I think it's going to be one of those years where we don't have a fall. I saw some trees near work that were losing their leaves. Their green leaves."

So... Then I fought some kind of violent reaction since this is not my husband's fault, although he is the one that made us live here, here I guess being somewhere without my favorite season.

A couple days ago he said, "I can't believe it. I swear September used to be cold! And definitely by October, it always is!" His car had said it was 93 degrees on his drive home.

Oh, shall I clutch my gut and laugh a hearty laugh? So amused, am I? NO. NOT AMUSED.

And then, I took Mav the dog out in the middle of the night, and in my shorts and tank top, thought that it was actually chilly. I took the garbage out yesterday and there were leaves under my feet. Crunch, crunch. They were starting to pile up on the sides of the street. Yellows, browns. Oh my stars! Am I going to be able to turn off the air conditioning?

Checked out my backyard. Still green, green, green. But other backyards, the colors were changing fast. FALL!

So, soon, our next date will be surrounded by all things autumn. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside knowing there is a chill in the air. Cider for everyone!

I also found this. And it cemented my fall feelings. I may have shed a tear, so moved I was by this article.

Hey Mom and Dad, don't judge me for this link. Warning: Adult Vocabulary.

I have light up pumpkins. Leaf shaped tableware. A singing plush candy corn. I took out all my grandmother's china from the china cupboard and put in fall themed decor. I'm with you, article! Fall is here finally! And so another date is on the horizon! I can barely sit still. I'm ready to go now! Oh, yeah, I forgot. The hubby has this whole job thing going on and can't just drop that to take me to look at leaves. But he better do it soon, because if fall leaves before I even get to see it arrive, I will be cranky until the Christmas lights come out.
