September Rain

This summer has been so hot at times, this week's chilly-wet weather is certainly a welcome change.

As I was waking up this morning, it felt like fall had descended upon the house and everything seemed to slow down. Maybe it was the chill in the air or the cozy sweatshirt I had to put on, but the pace in the fall seems to slow to a lazy lope. As if everything realizes the frost is coming and decides prepare.

The backyard was my very own secret garden. What's left of the sunflowers hung in the fog, and the air was cool & crisp.

This evening we went to an Irish themed birthday party for a good friend.

Good food. Good people. Good Beer. Perfect way to end a perfect day. If today is any indication of how the fall season is going to be around these parts, I'm all in.
