I just love fall, my favorite season by far. The leaves are falling, and it just has this awesome crisp look outside, guess I'll go for a walk....ugh..wait...its 90 degrees? Drat.
Yes, fall in St. Louis, oh, did I forget to mention the 70% humidity?
The leaves are dropping due to our drought...no color. Again, half the fun of fall is looking at the pretty leaves before they fall. At least at this rate, they will all blow away and get crushed in the driveway so we won't have much to rake.
It is going to cool off one of these days, and we can't wait!!
Another fun part of fall is college football. I can say this with confidence this year, as Michigan State is off to a rip roaring 4-0 start. This is absolutely unheard of for our mighty Spartoons, and Steve and I are happy, yet reserved as this weekend is the start of Big Ten play. Wisconsin may just send us home with our tails between our legs...can't wait to find out!!
A fun part of this is that Travis has absolutely no interest in throwing the football, until he starts to watch football, so it is nice to see he has some interest in it.
The other side of the equation is that UofM is doing worse than us, so far, which is comforting too.
We've been lucky to have had all 4 of the games on network tv/ESPN. The big concern of the Big 10 network hi-jacking all our games so far has sputtered.
So, bring on fall...chili, leaf piles, football and tailgates....we're ready!!

Autumn is the one time of year I desperately miss Michigan. It's pretty out here, but nothing like the colors back there.
Two of the pictures on my page are from camp, the ultimate place for leaf peeping.
We are headed to homecoming this weekend, and hope to see some nice color, there is nothing much here in MO, very brown this year.
In CO, unless you hit the Aspens right on the button, you're pretty much screwed.
Glad to see you visiting my blog!! Welcome...now I need to start making some more posts....
