I'm enjoying the beginning of fall more than I can express, having spent the last couple Octobers in Doha, where it's still over 100 degrees (38 C).
Wearing a sweater, breathing cool air and seeing pumpkins
- all minor thrills.
Fall decorations look particularly charming when they're outside a tidy Mennonite farm along the open Missouri highway.
And I like the light quality for knitting, too.
