autumn leaves start to fall

so, today I had the opportunity to really notice all the beautiful leaves that have changed in the past few weeks. how could anyone really not experience autumn? college football, cooler weather, fireplaces and warm blankets. in essence, i have a new appreciation for this season. i missed it last year, only exposed on a few select weekends to the brutal cold that affects the northern states. i'm SO GLAD i'm here now. i wouldn't trade anything for this time of the year. even for laying out in the sun every weekend :)
