My Time Of Year

Today was the typical fall day--and fall begins today, what a coincidence! ;) Anyway, the temp was in the 50s, it was grey and damp. The perfect day to put a batch of stew going in the Crock-Pot, bake some banana bread, and sit back with a hot cup of tea and a good book. My kind of day.

It looks like we will not be able to get up north for the peak of the color season--DAMN! We haven't been in such a long time that I was hoping to get up there to take some pictures. But, K is doing the overtime bit again, so we will be sticking close to home till after the colors peak.

On a good note, though, he may take a few days off the first week in October and then we can go down to Appleton--I feel a shopping trip coming on! I REALLY need to hit a Sam's soon--I am running out of EVERYTHING! There are a few other places I would like to get to, also, but the best part of the trip is getting together with our friends--we haven't seen them since July. Even though we have been on trips since July, the Appleton run is always a bit more relaxing because we KNOW what we are doing ahead of time. Hell, we have THAT trip so well organized that I can practically give a minute-by-minute account of where we will be at any given moment! :)
