I think I've decided






In the past when people use to ask me what my favorite season was I would always say Summer. Of course this was back in the day when I was in high school and college and could enjoy the summer days by the pool catching some rays. As I have gotten older and had a "real" job where I had to work most of the summer I have decided that I'm not so crazy about summer. Don't get me wrong, I love the long days, the warm weather, barbecues, fresh fruit, etc., but unless I'm hanging out by a pool where I can jump in to cool off, the heat isn't so comfortable. Being pregnant all summer and driving a car with TERRIBLE air conditioning probably had an impact in my final decision as well. I've decided that Fall is definitely my favorite season, for a number of different reasons. I have a new obsession with pumpkin. Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin rolls, pumpkin cakes, pumpkin cookies, you get the idea. Yes, I'm sure this is affecting my post-pregnancy weight loss. :-) I'm really not eating a ton of these treats but when I do I absolutely enjoy every second. The leaves here in Utah are beautiful. I have wanted to go out for weeks to get some great pictures of the leaves and by the time I finally got around to it, lots of the leaves were gone where I went and I had a screaming child in my car so I couldn't drive around too much. But I got a couple of pictures I liked. The weather has been soooo beautiful here I have been loving it. However, I think we may have turned the corner into cold weather so my afternoon walks with Sam are probably over but they were great while they lasted.

I love the leaves - we have like 3 shades of yellow in the billions of leaves falling off our trees out front :)
