happy first day of fall, friends! no, it's not technically the first day of fall, and yes it did hit a high of 87* today ... but it IS the first day of september, which begins fall in my book.
i think that overall fall is my favorite season. you have the pretty colors on the trees, the mornings and evenings start to cool off, so you can wear sweaters with your jeans and flip flops, and i think the nerd in me is still linked to the school calendar and just feels so many possibilities at the beginning of a new school year. and, even though i unfortunately don't really like football in practice, i love the idea of it and the social aspects of it, and football comes with fall.
this weekend, scott and i are off to a cabin in the mountains, and i'm so looking forward to it. it's the same cabin at the base of mt. elbert that we stayed in for a long weekend last summer and i have high hopes for a refreshing and relaxing weekend. in case you forget the details, this cabin is surrounded by aspens to the extent that their quaking is all you can see out the windows, a creek runs right behind the cabin with a private fire pit on the creek, and hummingbirds flock the feeders in droves. sounds lovely, right? our plans include hiking along the twin lakes and possibly renting a canoe or paddleboat, but that will depend on pricing - i found one place's prices listed online, and it was $60 for two hours! we'll also do a daytrip up to aspen along the independence pass to see the maroon bells. there's no tv in the cabin, which is unbelievably relaxing, but we are planning to bring a laptop and the last two "lord of the rings" dvds from the library - we watched the first movie again a few weeks ago and it was SO GOOD!
anyway, one more day of work for me, then we're off for a four day weekend of sleeping in and sunshine!
