Today's the Day

People always say they love living in the Midwest because we get four seasons.

Lucky us.

Three of the seasons we have here are delightful. One, which shall remain nameless (cough, cough, winter, cough, cough), is absolutely dreadful. I hate it with a passion which will make itself known the longer you read these pages.

Every year, right around this time of year, the weather decides to change. In a day. It goes from fun, sunny, hot Summer to cool, crisp, wonderful Fall. All in one day.

And today's the day.

When I got back from my walk with Thunder the Wonder Dog this morning, here's what I saw in my back yard.

And it's suddenly much cooler than the 97 degrees we had yesterday.

Hello, Fall!!
