a fall corner



This little corner makes me think of fall. Aren't we all just so ready? Though I've no wishes to rush it, the heat of late summer just gets me so excited. It's different than the heat of late June and July. It smells different. Maybe it's the pine straw that falls to the ground about now? I think that's right, there always seemed to be so much pine straw on the ground when school started. And I distinctly remember (cause it was just a year ago) raking up a TON of it last fall getting our house ready to be "for sale." On the roof, in the bushes, and on the ground. And of all the things I miss about Meridian, and our little house there behind the piggly wiggly, I don't miss those two massive pines in our back yard. I just knew they were going to fall on our heads every time we had a bad storm. But even so, pine trees smell so good, and Mississippi is just full of them.

I'm definitely thinking of fall today. Now girl, you got to get off this computer and get your house cleaned! Okay, yes ma'am....happy friday!

    You're so right about late summer just feeling different. I like the anticipation that goes along with changing seasons, too.

    Hope that you're having a great day, Kat!
