Oh yes...it's that time again...

I almost wrote an entry about the changing of the seasons last week when I had my early morning shift at work and it definitely felt like a fall morning. I had to wear a sweat shirt and gloves (and still was quite cold) to make it to work on my short bike ride. I didn’t write it then because half way through the day it cleared up and acted like summer again. Thats exactly how our summer has been in Oregon...back and forth. Today was definitely different...fall stayed around the whole day. Oh the changing of the seasons. Normally I would be a bit more excited about the fall in Oregon. It is in fact very very nice here in Oregon when the ending of another year comes around. There is only two reasons why I am a little bitter this time. 
Reason one: I feel like I was robbed a actual summer here in Oregon. Now I know that the rest of the country was having “too much summer”, but for me I like having summer to be actually like summer. Even though we did have some pretty hot days throughout  the summer it was never steady warm summer days and quite frankly it was damn right too cold most of the summer. Plus June was completely wiped of the summer forecast. 
Second reason: Well this one is kind of an on going reason. Each year I get older time flies by faster and faster. Us old folks say it all the time. As kids I just thought the old folks were just crazy... turns out they still are, but they also are right. As a kid the summer seemed endless almost. Three whole months off of our only responsibility as a kid which was going to school. Oh those were the days. 

But enough about me crying like a baby about the summer lost. Fall brings great things. As I opened the blinds to my back door and then opened the sliding glass door to get a good full breath of fall...*taste a deep breath*... which is most definitely on its way. Those short and cold days are making there way here. Usually summer holds on till at least the third week of September here in Oregon. This year is definitely the exception. This early taste of fall has me peering at my book shelves at the 30,000 books I haven’t finish because I can’t read...*tear*. Ok well maybe not the last part....lol. Thinking about cold walks through the neighborhoods watching the the leaves change color over the next couple of months. Fall is an interesting season. It’s usually a time for much reflection for me. So I am sure there will be many blog entries to come. Also lots of movie watching and snuggling *wink wink*, video gaming playing, and football watching.  Oh and let us not forget the beginning of the holiday seasons. Everyone that works in retail just rolled their eyes...lol. Oh come on there is lots of fun to be had. I need to start putting my Halloween costume together. Well now...I just finished having some pot roast with my sister. It was very D-licious... and a wonderful way to kick off the early fall season. 
Next I need to get a pumpkin spice candle and...


OH! and don't forget that we get an hour back soon... more sleep good. lol
With love and pure D-lite. =)
And remember... before you know it... It will be Groundhogs Day...lol.
