I LOVE THE FALL. There is just no two ways about it, I look forward to it all year long and it always ends far too quickly. Today was the first day of fall and it was a great start.
For starters, I found my Tracy Chapman album (New Beginning) from college. I played this thing to death and today it emerged from the depths of my stuff as a timely surprise. Here’s my favorite track off the album, The Promise.
Then it was off to a party with some friends, complete with warm cider, pumpkin carving, and my personal favorite, baked pumpkin seeds.
It was a beautiful evening, 72 and clear. There was great conversation, Corn Hole, and that little extra something in the air that just makes the world feel like a better place. See, told you I love the fall.

I’m so upset I didn’t know about this! Roasted pumpkin seeds and hot cider is right up my alley! Can we do it again on Wednesday night??

@Lisa - the song should be working now - the site that hosts the player was down for a while.
@Julia - sadly, you are right, it’s just not the same, anytime you wanna come soak in the good stuff, you have a standing invitation!
