fall is here

and i am very happy about it!  we have a cold front coming thru and i am loving every minute of it.  i love the crispness in the air, the smell of a fire roaring in the fireplace, and the food.  sweet baby j, i love the food.  it actually got pretty darn cold today and i felt that i needed a light jacket.  wha?!  bring it.

so, it got me in the mood.

fall beer is here.  my fave is the Punkin Ale from Dogfish Head.  it's an unbelievable beer that just gets me in the mood for the season.  tonight was my first one and i got all giddy.  josh chose their Raison D'Etre.  another tasty delight.  for dinner i made classic cheddar grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato and red pepper soup.  the windows are open and college football is on the tv.  it is fall, my friends.

now, i know once winter comes i'll be complaining that i'm way too cold.  but i'll enjoy this time right now.  it's brief and beautiful and i'll love every day of it.
