Gratitude Monday: seasonal change


Autumn has finally arrived in the District They Call Columbia. We don’t have the spectacular foliage colors, although my back yard is a six-inch-deep carpet of fallen leaves. Pumpkin spice has been washing over everything since at least the last week in August and CostCo is only now starting to shift out some of the Halloween stuff to make room for Christmas yard displays.

Even Neiman bleeding Marcus has had their little Christmas shop up since the first week in September.





Because some people just need to ease their credit cards into the season, I guess.

No—I know we’re well and truly into Fall because the temperature and humidity have finally dropped, and you need long sleeves or a jacket outside. This is the season I love, and it seems like it took forever to get here—last week was the first time we could actually feel like the heat and humidity finally gave up their grip on us.

So—despite some folks jumping the gun on the various holidays—today I’m grateful for the snap in the air and the excuse to make soup and light candles.
