The F-word

So I can no longer be in denial; evidence is mounting and I fear that fall (gasp!) is here.

Exhibit A: The Maple leaf


See how it's red and no longer on a tree? That means leaves are falling off. Pout.

Exhibit B: Apples


Those big, round, red things? Yup, ready for picking (see next post). If someone doesn't pick 'em soon they'll fall off (and probably get bruised - what are you waiting for??)


Exhibit C: Sunrise and Sunset Times

Don't really have a picture for this one (nor have i figured out a way to use the f-word) BUT the sun now rises at 6:40am and sets at 6:28pm (ACK, dark before 7pm!) This is less than 12 hours of daylight. It's only going to get worse from here folks! (at least until Dec 21) In fact, soon it's going to be so dark in the morning that I won't be able to see when I get up and I might just trip over the cat and fall. (ok, that was a stretch, but I should at least get some points for creativity)

So, I think I really do have to admit that in spite of the 90 degree weather last week (loved it!) I am no longer in Florida and eventually I will have to put my flip flops in the closet and find some long sleeve shirts. At least apple picking is fun! :-)
