No, I didn't run away or forget this blog. I've been without the internet for quite some time. Then, mysteriously, the cable company turned it back on (no complaints here). So I decided to take the time to update my layout and write a quick blog.
It's fall! I LOVE FALL! It's my favorite time of year...The air is cooling down, although it doesn't really get nice here until about the first or second week of October. I love the cool, crisp morning and night air, the magical color changes of the leaves, and the nearing of Halloween, one of my favorite "holidays". I mean, how many times a year do you get to be someone else for a night? Unless you're a spy, or you have multiple personality disorder, but for the rest of us it's one night. I'm also a horror movie fanatic, so what better time to cuddle up and watch a scary movie than the "scariest" time of year.
Growing up, fall was also a special time of year for me. My dad would procure hay bales and cornstalks, and my mom (or my school) would take me to the pumpkin patch to pick out a nice pumpkin, and then we would make a cute harvest scene in our yard with the haybales, corn, pumpkin(s) and a scarecrow. This time of year was also special because it meant that my father, a farmer, would soon have some time off after he finished picking peanuts, and he *might* take my mom and I to the mountains for a weekend to enjoy the foliage and a picnic along the Skyline Drive/Blueridge Parkway.
Those were the days, eh?
