Patiently Awaiting

I am so anxious for it to be fall I can hardly stand it.  I am SO tired of this wretched heat.  I am looking forward to crisp, cool mornings & evenings, feeling the cool air through open windows, letting the boys go play outside all day, Halloween, being able to wear jeans & sweaters (if I'm lucky), fall decorations & scents..I pretty much love everything about fall.  It makes me want to bake and cook and then bake some more.  And then eat everything that I have just baked and cooked.  Warning to my neighbors:  a great vastness of treats will be delivered to you in the coming weeks.  And soup.  Don't even get me started on my love affair with soup this time of year.  Trevor has learned to live with it.  I also get bitten by the craft bug this time of year.  I normally don't enjoy crafts but something about the fall makes me want to get busy making pretty things.  Plus the fall is a lead-in to all the fun holidays of the year.  From about mid-September to Christmas I am on cloud 9 with awesome weather (well that part doesn't come until at least October or November) and fun holiday traditions.  I can't believe it is already here again (almost)! 

So fall, if you are listening..hurry up will you??  Because patience is not my best attribute!
