I love this time of year. I love the crisp mornings, the cool evenings. I love lighting fires in the chiminea on the deck. I love having people over for dinner with the windows raised and the doors open. This weather makes the cats and even the Great Dane frisky. I love the crunchy leaves on the ground, the clean smell of fall in the air and Halloween excitement that makes it okay to eat candy and watch television shows about haunted places. I love seeing pumpkins on porches and homemade bedsheet ghosts hanging from trees.

Autumn is such an amazing time of year.

My seasonal Fall love post is overdue. Reading yours just reminded me I better get to writing one up!

By the way, I like your pumpkin there - traditional carved ones aren't always a bad thing. It's a classic. ;)

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
