How...

Autumn has snuck up on me.  I swear only a few days ago it was possibly late September, and just sort of that time-between-summer-and-autumn.  (What? You haven't heard of that? Welcome to the PNW!  WORD.) Now there is just the slightest bit of something in the air.  Perhaps a chill.  And leaves are starting to turn colors, and to drift down onto the sidewalks.  The sheep are back in the big pasture at the bottom of the hill, from wherever it is they spend their summer. I want to bake and cook comfort food for dinner, and plan Thanksgiving...

Oh, blessed wonderful autumn!

Reality

I would say I'm fattening up for the winter, but the sad reality is that I never unfattened up for the summer.

I weep.
