changing seasons

It's beginning to look a lot like fall. It's October, UVAs fall break and the leaves are starting to change. I'm currently in Deep Creek Maryland with Tom for break being lazy, catching up on reading (actually using those reading days!) and admiring this pretty place. Driving up from Virginia, it was like driving thru the season as the leaves changed from mostly green to a mosaic of green, bright oranges, reds and yellows. Although I'm not looking forward to the oncoming cold weather, I do love certain things about autumn; the changing leaves, the fresh air, cozying up with chai tea, and the smell of fall itself. I almost want to head back up to Connecticut for these things, but right now I'm going to try and prolong summer and head out on Tom's boat for some more reading,

Happy autumn!
