oh, how i love fall!

i love fall. with all the wonderful smells from canning, the trees that decide they are tired of their green dresses and opt for red and orange and brown and rust and gold and umber and sienna and..........i could go on and on about the different colors of leaves. i am married to an artist you know. i know a ton of color names that you would never even think of.

the one thing i don't love about fall, is everyone seems to get sick. my dear friend and neighbor, gets upset because we keep passing illnesses back and forth. my kids get it, her kids come to play, and they all get it. so, we will just keep a closer eye on everyone this winter, and try to stay on top of things.
right now, i'm the only one who hasn't gotten better. it started with allergies giving me grief (after all, it is harvest time, and i have hay fever). then it turned into a cough that everyone had. finally, it's persisted with a sore throat that won't go away. i can't hardly even swallow. and when i do, i feel the pain from my chest clear up to my forehead. so, i made an appointment with a doctor, and we'll see what the diagnosis is.
