There are things I love about Autumn. The leaves change colors, Thanksgiving will be here before I know it, which means I get to visit with my extended family. Did I mention pumpkin pie? I learned today that pumpkin is actually a type of squash. Weird, I know. I tried pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin once and it's not much different than the canned stuff, just a bit chunky. That makes me wonder if cans of pumpkin just sprout from the ground alongside frozen pie crusts. I remember the pumpkin shortage last year, it just added to the insanely busy workweek at Publix before Thanksgiving. I got 25 hours that week, it was worth it!
I'm happy it's October. The only thing is that the weather changed so quickly. Only two weeks ago I was praying for an end to the ninety degree heat. I got my wish with perfect temperatures, but it was too good to last. On the drive to school this morning, my teeth chattered as gripped the steering wheel. I don't want to notice the ten minutes it takes for the heater to kick in. That's acceptable in January, not October. Oh well, it's worth it to savor this time of year. It will be over before I know it...
