you know its fall when ...

So this past week i had a friend visit me, the lamp post outside my bathroom window.

I know it may seem trivial but this guy reminds me what time of year it is. During the summer, the trees you see around the lamp cover it up, this past week it revealed itself to me.

Welcome back, my friend!

Yes, i do love the fall. However, in Champaign, IL, it brings its own baggage. Here in central Illinois we are entering into the "overcast" season. Not like i am really affected by SAD [seasonal affective disorder], but even i notice when i can't see the blue sky for four months. and that is usually the way it works, you don't even notice it is gone, then one day in late February/ March there is the blue sky. And that first blue sky day i usually find myself saying things like, "I am so happie today". It is pretty awesome how the sun and the sky can positively effect our moods.

Well, here is to fall. Also, Congratulations are in order to my friend Vicki, she is getting married in August, sorry ladies i already have my date to the wedding.

Also, Happy Halloween!
