Fall, Autumn, Harvest---whatever you call it, it doesn't matter. I love it. It's my favorite time of the year, my favorite season.

Okay, so this post really isn't writing-related, but I just couldn't help myself. And although it happened years ago, I still think about this day often, and in fact, when it popped up in my memories not too long ago, I thought I need to share this story again. Before I get into my little [...]
I'm so excited for the next four months! October through December are my favorite, but I do have a soft spot for September--especially when in the latter part of the month the temperatures to start to cool down.
