I believe in ... FALL!

It has happened again. I was having a harvest party for the Girl Scouts ... after all, Thanksgiving is a mere week away it seemed appropriate. I had most of the things I needed but had to pick up a few last minute items. Guess what I found at the store? Sheaves of wheat? Indian Corn? Pilgrims? Turkeys? Get real. Those things are all part of the forgotten season ... Fall. That's right. I am hear to tell you that there is a season and and event between Halloween and Christmas. Fall, Autumn, Harvest and Thanksgiving. Sadly, this always gets squeezed out by Christmas ... starting in September it seems! So, as I looked for items for my harvest party, I was treated to chestnuts roasting on open fires and jack frost nipping at my nose. The upside was that the fall items I needed, while limited in supply, were 60 - 90% off. Don't get me wrong. I am all about Christmas ... but can't we wait until at least the Friday after Thanksgiving?
