I Love Pumpkins :)

I absolutely love this time of year.  I love the glow of the sun in the afternoons.  I love the changing colors of the trees.  I will admit, it is a bit different from New England where I grew up... but I do appreciate the surprise warm days (even if they don't feel like fall).  It always seems like such a short season though, before we know it we are getting ready for Christmas.  So, while I really didn't create an official fall check-list ahead of time... I'm thinking about it now before the season is gone!
