"Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower” -- Albert Camus So we've already established Fall is my favorite season. I'm spending today (and probably tomorrow!) putting out my autumnal decorations. I start off w/ browns and golds, leaves, pumpkins, add a little Halloween stuff and then move on to my all-time favorite holiday . . . Thanksgiving! Yes, I'm weird. Everyone else LOVES Christmas but I love Thanksgiving. I love the smells, the textures, the colors, the food. Thanksgiving is such a simple holiday -- no cards to mail, no gifts to buy and wrap. It is what it is, just a day to be thankful for the people in your life.
We have a Japanese Maple right outside our kitchen window and it is SO magnificant in the fall. I would love to put a screen porch out there but wouldn't dare risk moving that maple. 
Chris is in Atlanta today & Sunday for a men's lax tourney. I don't think they played too well this morning. Maybe this afternoon and tomorrow's games will be better. Kendall got to cheer this morning on the new sports grass at Hoover High. It was really cool but really weird. There was a sign on the field that said, "No Sunflower Seeds on the Field." I didn't realize there was a sunflower situation at the high school. Who knew??
After the game Taylor got a mani and her eyebrows waxed (boy did she need it!!!). She has a party tonight and she's very excited. She's upstairs primping as I type. KJ & I will probably just chill. We watched Goonies for a little while this afternoon but now she's upstairs playing in her room. I think she's got Polly Pockets all over the floor. With Chris out of town, I'm sure she's going to ask if she can sleep w/ me tonight.
