Too cold to think

Is it really October?

I took this picture on the way home from my son's school last week.

The leaves are turning.
It's cold.
It's too cold to write.
Or, for that matter, think.

What did you say? It's only in the 60's?

Yes, I know.
I simply can't function below 70 degrees.

Halloween is really soon... I have always hated Halloween, but guess what? Having kids has made it fun. My kids have their costumes... I'm dressing up as a writer who's too cold to think, in a coat and hat and gloves.

I wore boots for the first time about two weeks ago... overjoyed! I love boot season. :) But you know what I don't love? Not having any money for new boots this season.


Boot season is sweater season. I adore sweater season.
Boot season is scarf season! I adore scarves.
Boot season is hat season... I'm learning to love hats.
Boot season is jacket season... I love jackets.

Do you know what comes after cute-boot season? Winter boot season.

I loathe winter boot season. Lord, grant us a long autumn... and please, for the love of all things holy, do not send a white Christmas. I'm not ready for the dark months.
