Weather gripes

Today is October 1. And the high for Jacksonville is 90. Yes - NINETY! This forecast would bode brightly for most sane individuals, but for me it does nothing more than elicit a sigh. For the first time ever I'm missing out on the Midwestern version of my favorite season... no pumpkin patches, corn mazes, caramel apples, crisp mornings or brilliantly-colored leaves. The "Harvest Medley" scented candle I picked up at Bed Bath and Beyond last weekend isn't doing much to appease my longing. Where is the fall in Jax?!? ;-)

not to rub it in but fall is BEAUTIFUL right now. Red, yellow and orange trees line the streets. But to make you feel better the temp is steadily dropping and fall is coming to a quick halt!
