Celebrations require cake!

yellow cake with butter cream frosting and…candy corn pumpkins on top!

OOOkay…so I sound like little  Susie Homemaker! Or even worse…your mother! or an endearing old grandma….I know, I know I shouldn’t worry about such titles, as they will be my title someday, but I can’t help but feel like it. I just wanted to celebrate the wonderful weather we’re having here in Texas, and the fact that I love the fall. The leaves aren’t changing yet, but the weather is just so exciting to me. I can’t help it I love when the weather starts to change! It makes me feel young, and no, I shouldn’t be feeling like an old lady, but like a kid again. I can remember the leaves piling up in the yard and how we would make piles so high full of leaves and run and belly flop down into them! Or figuring out what we’re going to be for Halloween. I was always Punky Brewster or a  Black Cat. And the candy…ohhh, how much I love candy! Especially candy corn. Still, to this day, my mom sends me a package of candy corn. I love that.

Now, as I’m just a little bit older…I have other wonderful wonderfulnesses of fall. I can track the day of the Fall Equinox and the Harvest Moon…I can sit on my porch with a nice cup of coffee in the mornings and feel the wind from the north breeze by, and also hear the wind chimes at night as I carve pumpkins with Isaac. I can put on my favorite sweater that’s been sitting in the far end of the closet all summer long, and put it on as the sun starts to go down and just wrap myself in the happiness of seasons. I’m so glad that the earth is tilted on its axis and the earth spins around the sun…

I guess it wouldn’t be so great if you lived on the equator, although living there does have its perks…because Winter is coming!!!

Yes, winter may follow fall, but don’t fret, we always have Spring to look forward to!

That’s why I’m celebrating with cake! Because a celebration always calls for cake. Even if it is a celebration of the seasons.

I can’t think of anything else to do besides run around outside! Just one second…VVRROOOM…..!! Okay, I just ran outside and it sounded like a car…(hence, VVVROOMMM) and chased my dog Luna around a tree. I have the front door wide open to that wonderful breeze.

What else is there to say? Except get outside! Enjoy the weather!
