A perfect fall afternoon

This afternoon has really been the kind of perfect fall afternoon I love.  A front came through overnight and dropped the temps by twenty degrees.  While my co-workers were bundled up for morning carline, I was delighting in my surroundings in just a long-sleeve t-shirt.  My co-workers are very patient with me though, as I am exuberant in my giddiness! 😁

Additionally, today is very overcast and even a bit drizzly.  Wednesday is the day that I only work in the mornings, and even with a haircut and running a quick errand, I was home a little after 12:30.  At that point, not only did I have hours of solitude ahead of me, I had absolutely nowhere that I needed to be.  I have lit a candle, and I've enjoyed having the three pets napping in the family room with me.  The woods behind our house has changed the colors, and even though the leaves are dropping, I've enjoyed the scenery.  This finally feels like "late October", and I know that means November and the holidays are just around the corner.  I can't be sad about that at all!  In addition to enjoying the view, I've been thrilled to get a bit of Christmas shopping done as well.  It's been a perfect fall afternoon!
