Autumn

Even though it is still 85 degrees outside, it is now the month of September. Therefore, to me it is fall. I love fall....the colors, the pumpkins the coolness in the air. Since it is September, today I spent the day getting out all of my fall decorations. I am pretty sure my husband thinks I am crazy, and is annoyed by the scarecrow decoration I bought today and promptly displayed, but I don't care. I also got my garden ready today. I also plant mums in the fall. I love them! Again, it's a color thing. With Michael's farewell party coming up at the end of the month, I figure I better get a jump on things so I don't have to do everything at once. I figured this weekend and next I would tackle the outside....with grass and flowers being planted, and then I can concentrate on the inside. I guess at the end of the day, no one will really care what my house looks like at the time of the party as they will be concentrating on Michael, but my OCD personality just can't quit.

Meanwhile, we had the opportunity on Saturday night to attend a Signal Honors Dinner. It was interesting to say the least. I had a lot of fun, and I think Michael did too. Dressing up is always fun, and when they cut the cake with a sword...well that was just interesting. The military has some weird rituals!

Classes start this week...just one more thing to add to my non-stop schedule. I need to sit down and make a schedule of when I am going to get things accomplished. I need to make sure I spend a lot of time with Michael too. We are quickly running out of time........
