Finally Fall!

What a glorious morning! The sky is a deep blue, the sun is shining, and it is CHILLY out! After a couple of weeks of nearly unbearable heat with temps into the triple digits, it is finally starting to feel like fall. While we don't get the dramatic colors of other parts of the country, the change to pleasant temps and the need for warmer clothing is a welcome change.

I LOVE fall! While I would love beautiful fall foliage, I do enjoy the other things about this time of year. I love that I can cook and bake again. During the hot weather, I don't usually run the oven because it heats the whole house. The cooler weather allowed me to do some fall baking this week, and I'm already planning to cook some chili and soup this week. I enjoy cooking, and it's one of the things I look forward to about fall!

Today is such a beautiful day, we're hoping to do something outside. I don't know what that will be at the moment, though. Warren and I might just go over to Yorba Regional Park with Stanley, or we might head out to Victoria Gardens for some walking around. But it's a gorgeous day, and I definitely don't want to be indoors today!
